Conspicuous colour variation, caused by the influence of the environment on phenotype, or by genetic differences among individuals, is frequently observed in nature. If genetic in origin, colour variation can facilitate the study of the mechanisms th... Read More about Female-limited colour polymorphism in the crab spider Synema globosum (Araneae: Thomisidae).

Evidence for Batesian mimicry in a polymorphic hoverfly (2014)
Journal Article
Reader, T. (2014). Evidence for Batesian mimicry in a polymorphic hoverfly. Evolution, 68(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12308

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 preda...
