Mimicry rings are communities of mimetic organisms that are excellent models for ecological
and evolutionary studies because the community composition, the nature of the species …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Research on venomous animals has mainly focused on the molecular, biochemical, and
pharmacological aspects of venom toxins. However, it is the relatively neglected broader …

Flowers use olfactory and visual signals to communicate with pollinators. Disentangling the
relative contributions and potential synergies between signals remains a challenge …

Flight was a key innovation in the adaptive radiation of insects. However, it is a complex trait
influenced by a large number of interacting biotic and abiotic factors, making it difficult to …

Deals with all aspects of adaptive resemblance Full colour Covers everything from classic
examples of Batesian, Mullerian, aggressive and sexual mimicries through to human …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1494–1502 Abstract The nature of signal mimicry between
defended prey (known as Müllerian mimicry) is controversial. Some authors assert that it is …

Simple Summary Here, we describe the spreading of a South American firefly in Europe that
established itself in northeastern Spain, probably in 2016. The population is expanding …

Mimicry of warning signals is common, and can be mutualistic when mimetic species
harbour equal levels of defence (Müllerian), or parasitic when mimics are undefended but …

The striking color patterns of chromodorid (and other) nudibranchs appear to be indicative of
aposematism. In Müllerian mimicry, all the mimic species have a defense mechanism. It …
