The cost of cleanerfish mimics to their models
Journal of Fish Biology, 2003In aggressive mimicry, a ‘predatory’ species resembles a model that is harmless or beneficial to a third species, the ‘dupe’. Perhaps the most extraordinary case of aggressive mimicry occurs in Indo‐Pacific cleaning symbioses, where cleaner wrasses (the models) remove ectoparasites from larger fish clients.

A Model to Prevent Fibrinolysis in Patients with Stroke Mimics
Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2012Many patients with stroke-mimicking conditions receive treatment with intravenous fibrinolysis (IVF), a treatment associated with potentially serious complications. We sought to determine if any clinical or radiographic characteristics can help predict stroke mimics among IVF candidates.This retrospective study was carried out at a single institution ...

Causal Discovery and MIMIC Models
2013This thesis presents an alternative method for the detection of MIMIC models. Previous methods (such as factor analysis) suffer from a number of significant aws and limitations, which the new method (a causal search algorithm) doesn't suffer. A new algorithm is introduced, followed by a worked-through example of its application.

Optimal Control In Predation Of Models And Mimics
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007This paper examines optimal predation by a predator preying upon two types of prey, modes and mimics. Models are unpalatable prey and mimics are palatable prey resembling the models so as to derive some protection from predation. This biological phenomenon is known in Ecology as Batesian mimicry.

CAN MARKOV CHAIN MODELS MIMIC BIOLOGICAL REGULATION?
Journal of Biological Systems, 2002A fundamental question in biology is whether the network of interactions that regulate gene expression can be modeled by existing mathematical techniques. Studies of the ability to predict a gene's state based on the states of other genes suggest that it may be possible to abstract sufficient information to build models of the system that retain ...

Asynchrony between Batesian Mimics and Their Models
The American Naturalist, 1988Temporal allopatry of models and Batesian mimics is made possible by differences in the longevities and life histories of mimics, models, and insectivorous birds, as well as by the birds' long retention of the learned avoidance response to aposematic insects.

Effects of distance from models on the fitness of floral mimics
Plant Biology, 2017Abstract Rewardless plants can attract pollinators by mimicking floral traits of rewarding heterospecific plants. This should result in the pollination success of floral mimics being dependent on the relative abundance of their models, as pollinator abundance and conditioning on model signals should be higher in the vicinity of the models.

Aversive conditioning in a model-mimic system
Animal Behaviour, 1987Abstract When a complement of vertebrate predators was exposed in an experimental field situation to a Batesian mimicry system involving the tenebrionid beetle Eleodes longicollis as the noxious model, and the cerambycid beetle, Moneilema appressum as the edible mimic, the predator complement quickly became conditioned to avoid both models and mimics.
