Increased speed of movement reduced identification of Batesian ant-mimicking spiders by surrogate predators.

Animal cognition - 1 Nov 2021

Pekár Stano

Abstract excerpt

In Batesian mimicry, the mimic gains protection from predators by imitating a noxious model. Some myrmecomorphic species use ants as models as ants have strong defensive capabilities. Ants are highly mobile models, and besides colour, shape, and size, mimics also imitate their movement. Yet, former studies focused mainly on static traits. Here, I tested the hypothesis that artificially increased speed of movement...
