  2. Müllerian mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Müllerian_mimicry

    Müllerian mimicry was first identified in tropical butterflies that shared colourful wing patterns, but it is found in many groups of insects such as bumblebees, and other animals such as poison frogs and coral snakes. The mimicry need not be visual; for example, many snakes share auditory warning signals. Similarly, the defences involved are ...

  3. Mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry

    Mimicry is an evolved resemblance between an organism and another object, often an organism of another species. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species. Often, mimicry functions to protect from predators. [11] Mimicry systems have three basic roles: a mimic, a model, and a dupe.

  4. Viceroy (butterfly) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroy_(butterfly)

    Based on phylogenic evidence, it is known that mimicry in the North American admirals was a driver of speciation. An essential condition for the evolution of mimicry was the presence and abundance of unpalatable models. Mimetic evolution also involved direct selection with the model acting as a "starting block" for the mimic to evolve against. [19]

  5. Mimicry in vertebrates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry_in_vertebrates

    In evolutionary biology, mimicry in vertebrates is mimicry by a vertebrate of some model (an animal, not necessarily a vertebrate), deceiving some other animal, the dupe. [1] Mimicry differs from camouflage as it is meant to be seen, while animals use camouflage to remain hidden. Visual, olfactory, auditory, biochemical, and behavioral ...

  6. Deception in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_in_animals

    Examples include many moth, butterfly, and fish species that have "eye-spots". These are large dark markings that help prey escape by causing predators to attack a false target. For example, the gray hairstreak (Strymon melinus) shows the false head at its rear; it has a better chance of surviving an attack to that part than an attack to the head.

  9. Red salamander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_salamander

    This phenomenon is known as the Mullerian Mimicry Complex. [28] However, this hypothesis was heavily criticized due to significant size differences in the organisms and the differences in the species' times of foraging ( i.e. P. ruber mainly at night and the red eft mainly during the day). [29]
