Mimicry: Towards a semiotic understanding of nature
Sign Systems Studies, 2001 Mimicry has been an important topic for biology since the rise of the Darwinian theory of evolution. However. by its very narure mimicry is a sign process and the quest for understanding mimicry in biology has intrinsically always been a semiotic quest ...

Eyespot configuration and predator approach direction affect the antipredator efficacy of eyespots
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many prey species possess eyespots: paired markings that often consist of two or more concentric circles. Predators are wary of such prey because eyespots are conspicuous and/or mistaken for vertebrate eyes.

Survival benefits in mimicry: a quantitative framework [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, Vol. 259, pages 462-468 (2009), 2008 Mimicry is a resemblance between species that benefits at least one of the species. It is a ubiquitous evolutionary phenomenon particularly common among prey species, in which case the advantage involves better protection from predation. We formulate a mathematical description of mimicry among prey species, to investigate benefits and disadvantages of ...

Nature, 1886 I BEG to remark with reference to Mr. W. Hammond Tooke's letter on mimicry in snakes (NATURE, October 7, p. 547) that I stated a case of mimicry in snakes in the year 1869 (see also Proceedings of the Zoological Society, 1870, p. 368), and that I recently published a short paper on Adeniophis, which again treats the case.
