Survival benefits in mimicry: a quantitative framework.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Aug 2009

Mikaberidze Alexey, Haque Masudul

Abstract excerpt

Mimicry is a resemblance between species that benefits at least one of the species. It is a ubiquitous evolutionary phenomenon particularly common among prey species, in which case the advantage involves better protection from predation. We formulate a mathematical description of predation, to investigate benefits and disadvantages of mimicry. The basic setup involves differential equations for quantities...
