Creating emotional communication with interactive artwork [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This pilot study contributes to the building of an art installation that aims to build an emotional communication loop with the audience. It will do so by reacting to or mimicking the audience's changes in emotional expressions according to emotional ...

Eyespot configuration and predator approach direction affect the antipredator efficacy of eyespots

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Genomic Hotspots for Adaptation: The Population Genetics of Mullerian Mimicry in the Heliconius melpomene Clade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Wing patterning in Heliconius butterflies is a longstanding example of both Mullerian mimicry and phenotypic radiation under strong natural selection. The loci controlling such patterns are "hotspots" for adaptive evolution with great allelic diversity ...

Batesian mimics influence mimicry ring evolution

open access: yes, 2003
Mathematical models of mimicry typically involve artificial prey species with fixed colorations or appearances; this enables a comparison of predation rates to demonstrate the level of protection a mimic might be afforded.

Active Choice of Teachers, Learning Strategies and Goals for a Socially Guided Intrinsic Motivation Learner

open access: yesPaladyn, 2012
We present an active learning architecture that allows a robot to actively learn which data collection strategy is most efficient for acquiring motor skills to achieve multiple outcomes, and generalise over its experience to achieve new outcomes.

Sector-Scale Proliferation of CSR Quality Label Programs via Mimicry: The Rotkäppchen Effect

open access: yes, 2023
Proliferation of CSR quality certification programs can be analysed within theories of mimicry. Some firms use third-party quality certificates to signal their CSR practices to consumers accurately.

Aposematic signaling and seasonal variation in dorsal pelage in a venomous mammal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
In mammals, colouration patterns are often related to concealment, intraspecific communication, including aposematic signals, and physiological adaptations.

The association of negative mood with automatic and effortful facial expression mimicry

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
The natural process of mimicking the facial expressions of others is well established, as are the deficits in this reflexive behavior for individuals with clinical disorders such as depression.
