Mimicry: Towards a semiotic understanding of nature
Sign Systems Studies, 2001 Mimicry has been an important topic for biology since the rise of the Darwinian theory of evolution. However. by its very narure mimicry is a sign process and the quest for understanding mimicry in biology has intrinsically always been a semiotic quest ...

The Modulation of Mimicry by Ethnic Group-Membership and Emotional Expressions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mimicry has been ascribed affiliative functions. In three experiments, we used a newly developed social-affective mimicry task (SAMT) to investigate mimicry´s modulation by emotional facial expressions (happy, angry) and ethnic group-membership (White in-

Eyespot configuration and predator approach direction affect the antipredator efficacy of eyespots
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many prey species possess eyespots: paired markings that often consist of two or more concentric circles. Predators are wary of such prey because eyespots are conspicuous and/or mistaken for vertebrate eyes.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 There is a broad theoretical and empirical interest in spontaneous mimicry, or the automatic reproduction of a model’s behavior. Evidence shows that people mimic models they like, and that mimicry enhances liking for the mimic.

Aculeate Hymenopterans as Aposematic and Mimetic Models
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Aposematism and mimicry are complex phenomena which have been studied extensively; however, much of our knowledge comes from just a few focal groups, especially butterflies.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Contagious yawning differs from spontaneous yawning because it occurs when an individual yawns in response to someone else’s yawn. In Homo sapiens and some non-human primates contagious yawning is higher between strongly than weakly bonded individuals ...

Müllerian mimicry as a result of codivergence between velvet ants and spider wasps.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent studies have delineated a large Nearctic Müllerian mimicry complex in Dasymutilla velvet ants. Psorthaspis spider wasps live in areas where this mimicry complex is found and are phenotypically similar to Dasymutilla.
