An ant‐mimicking ant on an oceanic archipelago: Camponotus guanchus mimics Crematogaster alluaudi—An analogy with the situation of Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ecology and Evolution
Mimicry, that is, the imitation of any unpalatable or defensive species by another, has been of central interest to evolutionary research since Darwin's lifetime. Two ant species, Camponotus guanchus Santschi, 1908 and Crematogaster alluaudi Emery, 1893,

Pollination success in a deceptive orchid is enhanced by co-occurring rewarding magnet plants [PDF]

, 2003
It has been debated whether pollination success in nonrewarding plants that flower in association with nectar-producing plants will be diminished by competition for pollinator visits or, alternatively, enhanced through increased local abundance of ...

Isolation and characterization of pentadin, the sweet principle of Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon [PDF]

, 2017
An aqaeous extract from the pulp of the plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon (Pentadiplandraceae) yielded a strong sweet-tasting material. This sweet principle was isolated by water extraction, ultrafiltration and gel filtration.

A new genus and species of nudibranch-mimicking Syllidae (Annelida, Polychaeta)

Scientific Reports
Nudibranch mollusks, which are well-known for their vivid warning coloration and effective defenses, are mimicked by diverse invertebrates to deter predation through both Müllerian and Batesian strategies. Despite extensive documentation across different
