Imperfect Batesian mimicry—the effects of the frequency and the distastefulness of the model [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1997 Batesian mimicry is the resemblance between unpalatable models and palatable mimics. The widely accepted idea is that the frequency and the unprofitability of the model are crucial for the introduc...

Imperfect mimicry: a pigeon’s perspective
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1993Despite the dearth of field-based evidence from natural model-mimic communities, theory suggests that Batesian mimicry should have limits placed upon the model:mimic ratio for mimics to benefit. Paradoxically, hoverflies that are apparently mimics are often superabundant, many times more abundant than their supposed models.

Imperfect Batesian Mimicry and the Conspicuousness Costs of Mimetic Resemblance
American Naturalist, 2010We apply signal detection methodology to make predictions about the evolution of Batesian mimicry. Our approach is novel in three ways. First, we applied a deterministic evolutionary modeling system that allows a large number of alternative mimetic morphs to coexist and compete.

Explaining the evolution of imperfect mimicry
2023Mimicry research has played a crucial role in the development of evolutionary theory and the modern synthesis. Imperfect mimicry, however, was largely ignored, or even assumed to not exist, by many early theoreticians who postulated that imperfect mimics exist in an “adaptive valley” between crypsis and accurate mimicry.

Intersexual mimicry and imperfect deceit of a threatened aquatic herb Ottelia acuminata
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2020AbstractMimicry of non‐rewarding flowers to rewarding flowers has been accepted as a strategy to improve pollination success in angiosperms. It has been proposed that this mechanism depends on whether potential pollinators can discriminate between the flowers.

Imperfect nestling-mimicry attracts high-quality females in the Asian barn swallow
Ethology Ecology and Evolution, 2018The sensory trap hypothesis predicts that male signals mimic stimuli to which females respond in other contexts, yet these signals may not elicit equivalent responses from all females.

Satyric mimicry: the evolution of apparent imperfection
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1994Dittrich et al. (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 251, 195 (1993)) recently proposed that the existence of hoverfly species which are \`imperfect' mimics of wasps is a consequence of a constraint on the perceptual or learning mechanisms of birds. Here we put forward a new theory of the evolution of \`imperfect mimics'.

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2015
Communication in ants is based to a great extent on chemical compounds. Recognition of intruders is primarily based on cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile matching but is prone to being cheated. Eucharitid wasps are specific parasitoids of the brood of ants; the immature stages are either well integrated within the colony or are protected within the ...
