  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.

    Whether the migration event was a single or multiple occurrence event has a significant effect on how we look at the evolution of mimicry. A history of multiple migrations would suggest that speciation occurred before the evolution of mimicry, meaning mimicry was the result of speciation instead of the driver of speciation.

    The mimicry is Batesian in nature: hoverflies are palatable but hymenoptera are generally unpalatable and may also be protected by stingers and/or armour. Many social wasp species exhibit Müllerian mimicry, where a group of unpalatable species benefit from sharing the same kind of warning colouration. Wasps are decidedly noxious: nasty-tasting ...

  6. Aggressive mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_mimicry

    Aggressive mimicry stands in semantic contrast with defensive mimicry, where it is the prey that acts as a mimic, with predators being duped. Defensive mimicry includes the well-known Batesian and Müllerian forms of mimicry, where the mimic shares outward characteristics with an aposematic or harmful model. In Batesian mimicry, the mimic is ...

  8. Heliconius melpomene - Wikipedia

    Its coloration coevolved with another member of the genus, H. erato as a warning to predators of its inedibility; this is an example of Müllerian mimicry. [1] H. melpomene was one of the first butterfly species observed to forage for pollen, a behavior that is common in other insect groups but rare in butterflies. [ 2 ]

    Rats, for example, really like it when we tickle them. In 2023, researchers found that when tickled, rats squeak joyfully in a high-pitched noise, similar to a giggling sound.
