Ecological and evolutionary processes drive the origin and maintenance of imperfect mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Although the forces behind the evolution of imperfect mimicry remain poorly studied, recent hypotheses suggest that relaxed selection on small-bodied individuals leads to imperfect mimicry.

Two new ant-mimicking spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from Costa Rica
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022 During a recent investigation of ant-mimicking arthropods in Costa Rica, two new species of salticid spiders were discovered. Here, I provide descriptions of the two species, Myrmapana costaricaensis sp. nov. and Corcovetella galianoae sp. nov.

Dynamic mimicry in an Indo-Malayan octopus [PDF]
, 2001 During research dives in Indonesia (Sulawesi and Bali), we filmed a distinctive long-armed octopus, which is new to science. Diving over 24 h periods revealed that the 'mimic octopus' emerges during daylight hours to forage on sand substrates in full ...

On the evolution of mimicry in avian nestlings
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Batesian mimicry (BM), where a nontoxic species resembles a toxic species with aposematic coloring, has been recently described for a Neotropical species of the suboscine passerine (Laniocera hypopyrra).

Influence of mimicry on extinction risk in Aculeata: a theoretical approach
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Positive ecological interactions can play a role in community structure and species co-existence. A well-documented case of mutualistic interaction is Mullerian mimicry, the convergence of colour pattern in defended species living in sympatry.

Are some brightly coloured European wild birds toxic?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Some colourful European wild birds display contrasting bright colours. These are often striking black and white or primary and secondary colours, and with the same basic plumage livery shared by both sexes.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Mutualisms involve cooperation, but also frequently involve conflict. Plant-pollinator mutualisms are no exception. To facilitate animal pollination, flowering plants often offer pollen (their male gametes) as a food reward.
