Investigating imperfect mimicry in natural populations
This blog post is provided by David Outomuro and Alberto Corral-Lopez and tells their #StoryBehindthePaper for the article “Field evidence for colour mimicry overshadowing morphological mimicry”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Intuitively, to gain higher protection from predators, mimic species should evolve to be mirror images of their models. However, mimic species with very poor resemblance to their models are … Continue reading Investigating imperfect mimicry in natural populations
