Cognitive dimensions of predator responses to imperfect mimicry?
, 2007 Many palatable insects, for example hoverflies, deter predators by mimicking well-defended insects such as wasps. However, for human observers, these flies often seem to be little better than caricatures of wasps – their visual appearance and ...

Müllerian Mimicry: Sharing the Load Reduces the Legwork
, 2009 SummaryColor pattern mimicry has long been held up as a powerful example of natural selection. A recent study supports the theory by describing Müllerian mimicry rings in Appalachian millipedes that are analogous to those observed in tropical ...

Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ? [PDF]
, 2004 We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models. After

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT), is a biphasic neoplasm characterized by the presence of carcinomatous (epithelial) and sarcomatous (stromal tissue) elements. It frequently presents at an advanced stage and can mimic primary ovarian carcinoma on clinical and radiological evaluation ...

The golden mimicry complex uses a wide spectrum of defence to deter a community of predators
eLife, 2017 Mimicry complexes typically consist of multiple species that deter predators using similar anti-predatory signals. Mimics in these complexes are assumed to vary in their level of defence from highly defended through to moderately defended, or not ...

Resolving the paradox of local warning signal diversity: A framework for hypothesis testing
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1950-1959, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Defended prey often evolve conspicuous colorations that advertise their unprofitability to predators. These visual advertisements act as honest warning signals that predators can use to avoid these prey through associative learning.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
