Mimicry—when one organism (the mimic) evolves a phenotypic resemblance to another (the
model) due to selective benefits—is widely used to illustrate natural selection's power to …

Warning signals are a striking example of natural selection present in almost every
ecological community–from Nordic meadows to tropical rainforests, defended prey species …

Batesian mimicry, in which harmless species (mimics) deter predators by deceitfully imitating
the warning signals of noxious species (models), generates striking cases of phenotypic …

Batesian mimicry is often imprecise. An underexplored explanation for imperfect mimicry is
that predators might not be able to use all dimensions of prey phenotype to distinguish …

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 …

This book is a bridge between ecological paradigms–organismal/community approaches to
food web dynamics and ecosystem-level approaches to production. The unification of …

Mimetic resemblance is extensive across the tree of life yet agreeing on what constitutes
mimicry is challenging. One of the reasons for disagreement is a lack of unambiguous …

The functions of bright bands in coral and other snakes have long been a puzzle. The most
common opinion is that coral snakes display aposematic marks and that other red and black …

The Amazonian poison frog genus Ameerega is one of the largest yet most understudied of
the brightly colored genera in the anuran family Dendrobatidae, with 30 described species …

Antagonistic coevolution between natural enemies can produce highly exaggerated traits,
such as prey toxins and predator resistance. This reciprocal process of adaptation and …
