Learning from the local: the variety and spatial pattern of vocal mimicry in songs of the invasive white-rumped shama in Taiwan

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Studying the model selection, especially in multiple heterospecific mimicry, is crucial for understanding the function of vocal mimicry. Invasive songbirds with large repertoires in novel auditory environments lacking conspecifics expand their ...

Hybridization constrains the evolution of mimicry complexes in woodpeckers

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology
The evolution of interspecific mimicry does not always result in perfect resemblance between mimics and models. Differences between members of a mimicry complex can be explained by genetic or developmental constraints.

Molecular mimicry as a mechanism of viral immune evasion and autoimmunity

open access: yesNature Communications
Mimicry of host protein structures, or ‘molecular mimicry’, is a common mechanism employed by viruses to evade the host’s immune system. Short linear amino acid (AA) molecular mimics can elicit cross-reactive antibodies and T cells from the host, but the
