Adult Emergence in Two Univoltine \u3ci\u3eCallosamia Promethea\u3c/i\u3e Populations: Preponderance of the Early Emerging Morph in the North and of the Late Emerging Morph in the South (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Callosamia promethea is common on wild black cherry, Prunus serafina, at the University of Michigan Biological Station in northern lower Michigan. In this area the early emerging morph is preponderant, while to the south in northern Indiana, the late ...

Predatory foraging tactics correspond with aggressive mimetic fidelity in carnivorous blenniid fishes on coral reefs

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 19-27, September 2025.
The false cleanerfish (at the front), Aspidontus taeniatus (Blenniidae), mimics the bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus, Labridae), a well‐known cleaner fish on coral reefs. What makes A. taeniatus mimic so precisely and perfectly? In this study, to explore the advantages of such mimicry, we used three‐dimensional (3D) recordings to examine

How spiders practice aggressive and Batesian mimicry

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2012
To understand communication, the interests of the sender and the receiver/s of signals should be considered separately. When our goal is to understand the adaptive significance of specific responses to specific signals by the receiver, questions about ...

The almost invisible league: crypsis and association between minute fishes and shrimps as a possible defence against visually hunting predators

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
Camouflage is one of the most widespread defence modes used by substrate-dwelling animals, whereas transparency is generally found in open-water organisms. Both these defence types are regarded as effective against visually guided predators.

Comparative anatomy of elaiophores and oil secretion in the genus Gomesa (Orchidaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Oils are atypical floral rewards in Orchidaceae, and are produced by epidermal glands called elaiophores. Flowers of many members of the sub-tribe Oncidiinae either produce oil or mimic oil-producing flowers of Malpighiaceae.

Evidence for aggressive mimicry in an adult brood parasitic bird, and generalized defences in its host. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mimicry of a harmless model (aggressive mimicry) is used by egg, chick and fledgling brood parasites that resemble the host's own eggs, chicks and fledglings.

Colors and Some Morphological Traits as Defensive Mechanisms in Anurans

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, 2009
Anurans may be brightly colored or completely cryptic. Generally, in the former situation, we are dealing with aposematism, and the latter is an example of camouflage.
