How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies? (2024)
Journal Article
Baker, L., Taylor, C., Gilbert, F., & Reader, T. (2024). How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies?. Behavioral Ecology, 35(5), Article arae054. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arae054

Despite Batesian mimicry often eliciting predator avoidance, many Batesian mimics, such as some species of hoverfly (Syrphidae), are considered to have an “imperfect” resemblance to their model. One possible explanation for the persistence of apparen... Read More about How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies?.
