13、logy class.Professor:As you know from the textbook, mimicry isnt limited to insects, but its most common among them, and by mimicry Im referring to the likeness between two insects that arent closely related but look very much alike. The insects that engage in mimicry are usually very brightly color
14、ed. One of the insects, the one thats characterized by an unpleasant taste, a bad smell, a sting or bite, that insect is called the model. The mimic looks like the model but doesnt share the characteristic that protects the model from predators. But, of course, the predators associate the color patt
15、ern or some other trait with the unpleasant characteristic and leave both insects alone.Henry Bates was one of the first naturalists who noticed that some butterflies that closely resembled each other were actually unrelated, so mimicry in which one species copies another is called Batesian mimicry.
16、 I have some lab specimens of a few common mimics in the cases here in the front of the room, and I want you to have a chance to look at them before the end of the class. Theres a day flying moth with brown and white and yellow markings. And this moth is the model because it has a very unpleasant ta
17、ste and tends to be avoided by moth eaters. But youll notice that the swallowtail butterfly mounted beside it has very similar coloration, and actually the swallowtail doesnt have the unpleasant taste at all. Another example is the monarch butterfly, which is probably more familiar to you since they
18、 pass through this area when theyre migrating. But you may not know that they have a very nasty taste because I seriously doubt that any of you have eaten one. But for the predators who do eat butterflies, this orange and black pattern on the monarch is a warning signal not to sample it. So, the vic
19、eroy butterfly here is a mimic. Same type of coloring but no nasty taste. Nevertheless, the viceroy isnt bothered by predators either, because its mistaken for the monarch. So how does a predator know that the day flying moth and the monarch arent good to eat? Well, a bird only has to eat one to sta
20、rt avoiding them all models and mimics.A stinging bumblebee is another model insect. The sting is painful and occasionally even fatal for predators. So there are a large number of mimics. For example, theres a beetle that mimics bumblebees by beating its wings to make noise, and the astonishing thin
21、g is that its able to do this at the same rate as the bumblebee so exactly the same buzzing sound is created. I dont have a specimen of that beetle, but I do have a specimen of the hoverfly, which is a mimic of the honeybee, and it makes a similar buzzing sound, too. When you compare the bee with th
22、e fly, youll notice that the honeybee has two sets of wings, and the hoverfly has only one set of wings, but as you can imagine, the noise and the more or less similar body and color will keep most predators from approaching closely enough to count the wings.Some insects without stingers have body p
23、arts that mimic the sharp stinger of wasps or bees. Although the hawk moth is harmless, it has a bundle of hairs that protrudes from the rear of its body. The actual purpose of these hairs is to spread scent, but to predators, the bundle mimics a stinger closely enough to keep them away, especially
24、if the hawk moth is moving in a threatening way as if it were about to sting. Theres a hawk moth here in the case, and to me at least, it doesnt look that much like the wasp mounted beside it, but remember when youre looking at a specimen, its stationary, and in nature the movement is also part of t
25、he mimicry.Oh, heres a specimen of an ant, and this is interesting. Another naturalist, Fritz Muller, hypothesized that similarity among a large number of species could help protect all of them. Heres what he meant. After a few battles with a stinging or biting ant, especially when the entire colony
26、 comes to the aid of the ant being attacked, a predator will learn to avoid ants, even those that dont sting or bite, because they all look alike and the predator associates the bad experience with the group. And by extension, the predator will also avoid insects that mimic ants, like harmless beetl
27、es and spiders.Look at this. I have a drawing of a specimen of a stinging ant beside a specimen of a brownish spider and the front legs of the spider are mounted so they look more like antennae because thats just what the spider does to mimic an ant. That way it appears to have six legs like an ant
28、instead of eight like a spider.Okay, we have about ten minutes left, and I want you to take this opportunity to look at the specimen cases here in the front of the room. Ill be available for questions if you have them. How about forming two lines on either side of the cases so more of you can see at
