36.
This is the analogue of Batesian mimicry within a single species, and occurs when there is a palatability spectrum within a population.
37.
Also, the two species may exist on a continuum from harmless to highly noxious, so Batesian mimicry grades smoothly into M�llerian convergence.
38.
The evolution of a warning signal by a mimicking species that resembles a species that possesses strong defences is known as Batesian mimicry.
39.
It is thought that this may be the first case of Batesian mimicry involving a harmless bird mimic and a toxic insect model.
40.
Batesian mimicry can only be maintained if the harm caused to the predator by eating a model outweighs the benefit of eating a mimic.
