Alkaloid defenses of co-mimics in a putative Müllerian mimetic radiation [PDF]
, 2014 Background Polytypism in aposematic species is unlikely according to theory, but commonly seen in nature. Ranitomeya imitator is a poison frog species exhibiting polytypic mimicry of three congeneric model species (R. fantastica, R.

A revision of the minor species group in the millipede genus Nannaria Chamberlin, 1918 (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Xystodesmidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae (Polydesmida) are often referred to as “colorful, flat-backed millipedes” for their bright aposematic coloration and tendency to form Müllerian mimicry rings in the Appalachian region.

Mimicry in Heliconius and Ithomiini butterflies: The profound consequences of an adaptation
BIO Web of Conferences, 2015 Prey populations have evolved multiple strategies to escape predation. Camouflage is a strategy resting on avoiding detection by potential predators, whereas aposematism relies on advertising chemical defences with conspicuous warning signals.

Trait Variation in Moths Mirrors Small-Scaled Ecological Gradients in A Tropical Forest Landscape
Insects, 2020 Along environmental gradients, communities are expected to be filtered from the regional species pool by physical constraints, resource availability, and biotic interactions. This should be reflected in species trait composition.

The Evolution of Fangs, Venom, and Mimicry Systems in Blenny Fishes [PDF]
, 2017 Venom systems have evolved on multiple occasions across the animal kingdom, and they can act as key adaptations to protect animals from predators. Consequently, venomous animals serve as models for a rich source of mimicry types, as non-venomous ...
