A hypothesis to explain accuracy of wasp resemblances [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 73-81, January 2017., 2016 Mimicry is one of the oldest concepts in biology, but it still presents many puzzles and continues to be widely debated. Simulation of wasps with a yellow-black abdominal pattern by other insects (commonly called “wasp mimicry”) is traditionally ...
