However, the new debate seems to cast the most serious doubt yet on the Müllerian hypothesis, and centers around the work of Mike Speed. Speed argues that mimicry theory has ignored Pavlovian models of predator … WitrynaMimicry occurs when two or more species evolve to resemble and sometimes behave in ways similar to another species (see also mimicry). The most famous examples of mimicry are found among insects, and they take two forms: Müllerian mimicry , in which two species evolve convergently to have a similar appearance, and Batesian …
