Predators favour mimicry in a tropical reef fish.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2003

Caley M Julian, Schluter Dolph

Abstract excerpt

Batesian mimicry evolves when the 'umbrella' of protection provided by resemblance to a conspicuous unpalatable model species is sufficient to overcome increased predation risk associated with greater conspicuousness. However, the shape and extent of this umbrella, that is, how the level of protection provided by mimicry changes with degree of resemblance between model and mimic, is poorly known. We investigated...
