Feature theory and the two-step hypothesis of Müllerian mimicry evolution.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

The two-step hypothesis of Müllerian mimicry evolution states that mimicry starts with a major mutational leap between adaptive peaks, followed by gradual fine-tuning. The hypothesis was suggested to solve the problem of apostatic selection producing a valley between adaptive peaks, and appears reasonable for a one-dimensional phenotype. Extending the hypothesis to the realistic scenario of multidimensional...
