The evolution of multicomponent mimicry.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Feb 2007

Franks Daniel W, Sherratt Thomas N

Abstract excerpt

The relative sizes of phenotypic mutations contributing to evolutionary change has long been the subject of debate. We describe how mimicry research can shed light on this debate, and frame mimicry studies within the general context of macromutationism and micromutationism, and punctuated versus gradual evolution. Balogh and Leimar [Müllerian mimicry: an examination of Fisher's theory of gradual evolutionary...
