Synonyms of mimicry

Description

In evolutionary biology, mimicry is an evolved resemblance between an organism and another object, often an organism of another species. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species. Often, mimicry functions to protect a species from predators, making it an anti-predator adaptation. Mimicry evolves if a receiver perceives the similarity between a mimic and a model and as a result changes its behaviour in a way that provides a selective advantage to the mimic. The resemblances that evolve in mimicry can be visual, acoustic, chemical, tactile, or electric, or combinations of these sensory modalities. Mimicry may be to the advantage of both organisms that share a resemblance, in which case it is a form of mutualism; or mimicry can be to the detriment of one, making it parasitic or competitive. The evolutionary convergence between groups is driven by the selective action of a signal-receiver or dupe. Birds, for example, use sight to identify palatable insects and butterflies, whilst avoiding the noxious ones. Over time, palatable insects may evolve to resemble noxious ones, making them mimics and the noxious ones models. In the case of mutualism, sometimes both groups are referred to as "co-mimics". It is often thought that models must be more abundant than mimics, but this is not so. Mimicry may involve numerous species; many harmless species such as hoverflies are Batesian mimics of strongly defended species such as wasps, while many such well-defended species form Müllerian mimicry rings, all resembling each other. Mimicry between prey species and their predators often involves three or more species.

अनुहरण उस बाहरी समानता को कहते हैं जो कुछ जीवों तथा अन्य जीवों या आसपास की प्राकृतिक वस्तुओं के बीच पाई जाती है, जिससे जीव को छिपने में सुगमता, सुरक्षा अथवा अन्य कोई लाभ प्राप्त होता है। ऐसा बहुधा पाया जाता है कि कोई जंतु किसी प्राकृतिक वस्तु के इतना सदृश होता है कि भ्रम से वह वही वस्तु समझ लिया जाता है। भ्रम के कारण उस जंतु की अपने शुत्रओं से रक्षा हो जाती है। इस प्रकार के रक्षक सादृश्य के अनेक उदाहरण मिलते हैं। इसमें मुख्य भाव निगोपन का होता है। एक जंतु अपने पर्यावरण (एनवायरनमेंट) के सदृश होने के कारण छिप जाता है। गुप्तपाषाण (क्रिष्टोलिथोड्स) जति का केकड़ा ऐसा चिकना, चमकीला, गोल तथा श्वेत होता है कि उसका प्रभेद समुद्र के किनारे के स्फटिक के रोड़ों से, जिनके बीच वह पाया जाता है, नहीं किया जा सकता। ज्यामितीय शलभ इल्लियों (कैटरपिलरों) का रूपरंग उन पौधों की शाखाओं और पल्लवों के सदृश होता है, जिनपर वे रहते हैं।
