Revisiting the 1879 model for Evolutionary Mimicry by Fritz Müller: New mathematical approaches

, 2020
In this paper we present some novel mathematical approaches to describe an extraordinary phenomenon widely cited in the biological literature as “Müllerian Mimicry”.

Figure 4 in Larvae of pyrrhocorid true bugs are not to spiders' taste: putative Müllerian mimicry

Figure 4. Attack rates (mean ± SE; open bars connected with dotted lines) and capture rates (mean ± SE; coloured bars connected with full lines) during presentation of the same prey in the first and the last trial of the prolonged avoidancelearning test (

Data from: State-dependent decision-making by predators and its consequences for mimicry

, 2020
The mimicry of one species by another provides one of the most celebrated examples of evolution by natural selection. Edible Batesian mimics deceive predators into believing they may be defended, whereas defended Müllerian mimics have evolved a shared ...

Data from: Unsupervised machine learning reveals mimicry complexes in bumble bees occur along a perceptual continuum

, 2019
Müllerian mimicry theory states that frequency dependent selection should favour geographic convergence of harmful species onto a shared colour pattern. As such, mimetic patterns are commonly circumscribed into discrete mimicry complexes each containing ...

Progress in Construction and Analysis of Evolutionary Research Framework for Butterflies

Shiyan dongwu yu bijiao yixue
Understanding the origins of animal diversity and their adaptive evolutionary mechanisms is one of the core issues in modern biology. Animal traits such as morphology, coloration, and behavior are shaped synergistically by the species' genetics and ...

Experimental studies of Müllerian mimetic complexes [PDF]

, 2013
Mimicry is one of strategies which provides protection for the prey from predator attack. There are several kinds of mimetic relationships, one of them is Müllerian mimicry, i.e. mutualistic relationship between two unpalatable prey species. If there are

Competition and phylogeny determine community structure in Müllerian co-mimics

, 2011
Until recently, the study of negative and antagonistic interactions (for example, competition and predation) has dominated our understanding of community structure, maintenance and assembly. Nevertheless, a recent theoretical model suggests that positive

Biased sex ratios and Aposematic polymorphism in African butterflies

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2013
In East and Central Africa, the nymphalid butterflies Danaus chrysippus, Acraea encedon and Acraea encedana are involved in a Müllerian mimicry complex.
