Evidence for Batesian mimicry in a polymorphic hoverfly.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2014

Edmunds Malcolm, Reader Tom

Abstract excerpt

Palatable Batesian mimics are avoided by predators because they resemble noxious or defended species. The striking resemblance of many hoverflies to noxious Hymenoptera is a "textbook" example of Batesian mimicry, but evidence that selection by predators has shaped the evolution of hoverfly patte...
