hi everyone
im a new member and i have a question for you guys. i appreciate if you can help me
what is the difference between mullerian mimicry and batesian mimicry?

 

[vcuchic]

Mullerian mimicry is when two unpalatable species resemble each other
Batesian mimicry is when a palatable species resembles the appearence of an unpalatable one.

hope that helps 🙂

just to help out...this is what helped me remember the definition of batesian mimicry.

Batesian is Bullsh*t

That helps if you know the definitions, but always forget which is which...

Can u make an example of batesian mimicry?

MULLERIAN: wasps, bees, and hornets (that all sting) all have the same kind of coloring (yellow and black) to warn predators to stay back

BATESIAN: if a insect that is harmless has black and yellow coloring; also deceptive mimicry

An example might be, a palatable (could mean it's safe to consume) type of fly mimicing the yellow and black markings of an unpalatable type of fly (a dangerous one).

Hi everyone!!!!

Mullerian:
It is poisonous or is unpalatable--> EX: Monarch butterfly

Batesian:
It mimics an unpalatable species--> EX: Viceroy butterfly: Color/Marking look like a Monarch but it's palatable. So like Poc stated Bates is BS!!!
