Evolution of diversity in warning color and mimicry: polymorphisms, shifting balance, and speciation

J Mallet, M Joron - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1999‏ - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Mimicry and warning color are highly paradoxical adaptations. Color patterns in
both Müllerian and Batesian mimicry are often determined by relatively few pattern …

The evolution of Müllerian mimicry

Why are there good and poor mimics?

M Edmunds - Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2000‏ - academic.oup.com
Among the many Batesian mimetic hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) some have a very precise
resemblance to the presumed model ('good'or 'specific'mimics) while others have a much …

Müllerian mimicry among bees and wasps: a review of current knowledge and future avenues of research

P Chatelain, M Elias, C Fontaine, C Villemant… - Biological …, 2023‏ - Wiley Online Library
Many bees and stinging wasps, or aculeates, exhibit striking colour patterns or conspicuous

Molecular phylogenetic evidence for a mimetic radiation in Peruvian poison frogs supports a Müllerian mimicry hypothesis

R Symula, R Schulte… - Proceedings of the …, 2001‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Examples of Müllerian mimicry, in which resemblance between unpalatable species confers
mutual benefit, are rare in vertebrates. Strong comparative evidence for mimicry is found …

Warning signals, receiver psychology and predator memory

MP Speed - Animal Behaviour, 2000‏ - Elsevier
This review identifies four receiver psychology perspectives that are likely to be important in
the design and evolution of warning signals. Three of these perspectives (phobia, learning …

Causes and consequences of a lack of coevolution in Müllerian mimicry

J Mallet - Evolutionary Ecology, 1999‏ - Springer
Müllerian mimicry, in which both partners are unpalatable to predators, is often used as an
example of a coevolved mutualism. However, it is theoretically possible that some Müllerian …
