Butterfly Mimicry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Butterfly mimicry is a form of protective coloration where a given species, commonly referred to as the mimic, increases its chance of survival by visually resembling a harmful species, the model, such that the receiver of the signal, the predator (e.g., birds, reptiles, or predatory insects who attack and consume butterflies), gets confused between ...

Geometrically Controlled WNT Activation Drives Intestinal Morphogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Crypt‐villi‐like morphogenesis can be driven and controlled via architectural patterns in colorectal cells with the use of digital light processing printing. The resulting mini tissues exhibit budding structures and functionality, as evidenced by increased mucin expression.

Mimicry and Prosocial Behavior

open access: yesPsychological Science, 2004
Recent studies have shown that mimicry occurs unintentionally and even among strangers. In the present studies, we investigated the consequences of this automatic phenomenon in order to learn more about the adaptive function it serves. In three studies, we consistently found that mimicry increases pro-social behavior.

Structure formation on the brane: A mimicry

open access: yes, 2006
We show how braneworld cosmology with bulk matter can explain structure formation. In this scenario, the nonlocal corrections to the Friedmann equations supply a Weyl fluid that can dominate over matter at late times due to the energy exchange between ...
