A simple mathematical model for Batesian mimicry

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2005
A simple mathematical model is presented for Batesian mimicry, which occurs when a harmless species (mimic) is morphologically similar to another species (model) that is noxious or distasteful to predators, thus gaining a measure of protection.

The Impact of Detoxification Costs and Predation Risk on Foraging: Implications for Mimicry Dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Prey often evolve defences to deter predators, such as noxious chemicals including toxins. Toxic species often advertise their defence to potential predators by distinctive sensory signals.

Biogeography confounds the signal of cospeciation in Batesian mimicry

Current Biology
Since the inception of the field of evolution, mimicry has yielded insights into foundational evolutionary processes, including adaptive peak shifts, speciation, and the emergence and maintenance of phenotypic polymorphisms.1,2,3 In recent years, the coevolutionary processes generating mimicry have gained increasing attention from researchers.

Evolutionary arms race in ant-ant mimicry: Camponotus lateralis lags behind in mimicking color patterns and sizes of regional Crematogaster models [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Over a century ago, biologists proposed the Mediterranean ant Camponotus lateralis mimicked the coloration of the common and unpalatable ant Crematogaster scutellaris. A more recent hypothesis suggested that Ca.
