Aposematism and Batesian Mimicry
1988The color patterns of most animals are enormously important to their lives. Colors may serve as intraspecific signals and are sometimes involved in the control of body temperature. Much more often, however, the color pattern helps the animal to escape predation.

Reproduction and the energy cost of defense in a Batesian mimicry complex
Oecologia, 1990The amount of energy invested in reproduction and in defense was examined in a Batesian mimicry complex consisting of the modelEleodes obscura and the mimicStenomorpha marginata (both Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Models live up to 4 y as adults while mimic adults live only 3 mo.

Theoretical genetics of batesian mimicry II. Evolution of supergenes
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1975In this paper, we describe an extension of the computer model explained in paper I to simulate the genetics of two loci, and have used it to study the selection of genes modifying the effects of mimicry genes, either by improving the mimicry towards the same model, or by giving some mimetic resemblance to a new model.

The relationship between Batesian and Müllerian mimicry
2004AbstractIf two species share the same signal, both are defended but differ in the type or level of their defence. The nature of the mimicry between them is an area of current controversy. Is it inherently parasitic (Batesian) or mutualistic (Mullerian)?

Sensory Discrimination and Its Role in the Evolution of Batesian Mimicry
Behaviour, 1965The conditions of Batesian mimicry have been simulated in a laboratory experiment in which chickens represented the predators and green-coloured drinking solutions their "prey". The darkest solution represented the model and when it was taken a shock was administered to the bird. Two groups of birds and two levels of shock were used. No shock was given

Multitrait aposematic signal in Batesian mimicry.
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2017Batesian mimics can parasitize Müllerian mimicry rings mimicking the warning color signal. The evolutionary success of Batesian mimics can increase adding complexity to the signal by behavioral and locomotor mimicry. We investigated three fundamental morphological and locomotor traits in a Neotropical mimicry ring based on Ithomiini butterflies and ...

Behavioural evidence on the evolution of batesian mimicry
Animal Behaviour, 1958Abstract 1. 1. Four White Leghorn chicks were trained to avoid a drawing of a butterfly (the model) and than presented with various other butterfly drawings (the mimics). 2. 2. Some mimics resembling the model only slightly were avoided. 3. 3.

Behaviour of an avian predator in an experiment simulating Batesian mimicry
Animal Behaviour, 1965Abstract Investigations of the behaviour of an avian predator, Parus atricapillus, in an experiment simulating Batesian mimicry are reported. Seeds painted either orange or green were used as prey (simulating models, their mimics, and non-mimetics), with the models dipped into quinine hydrochloride to make them noxious.
