DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2586
Abstract: Abstract Mimicry is one of the oldest concepts in biology, but it still presents many puzzles and continues to be widely debated. Simulation of wasps with a yellow‐black abdominal pattern by other insects (commonly called… read more here.

Aggressive mimicry in a coral reef fish: The prey's view

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6883
Abstract: Abstract Since all forms of mimicry are based on perceptual deception, the sensory ecology of the intended receiver is of paramount importance to test the necessary precondition for mimicry to occur, that is, model‐mimic misidentification,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8842
Abstract: Abstract Batesian mimicry (BM), where a nontoxic species resembles a toxic species with aposematic coloring, has been recently described for a Neotropical species of the suboscine passerine (Laniocera hypopyrra). Understanding the order and series in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9664
Abstract: Abstract The red‐backed shrike (Lanius collurio) used to be one of the most common hosts of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). Nevertheless, during the last 30 years, there is increasing evidence from Central Europe that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-01746-9
Abstract: Mimicry is a commonstrategyamongcoral reeffishes that use diversemorphological features and behaviors to avoid predators or to increase successful foraging. Juvenile coral trout (Plectropomus spp.) strongly rely on coral habitat for food, shelter, andnurserygrounds (Wen et… read more here.

Are Vocal Pitch Changes in Response to Facial Expressions of Emotions Potential Cues of Empathy? A Preliminary Report
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Psycholinguistic Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s10936-016-9446-y
Abstract: Previous research has demonstrated that even brief exposures to facial expressions of emotions elicit facial mimicry in receivers in the form of corresponding facial muscle movements. As well, vocal and verbal patterns of speakers converge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11199-018-0911-y
Abstract: In two studies we investigated the behavioral process through which visible female leader role models empower women in leadership tasks. We proposed that women tend to mimic the powerful (open) body postures of successful female… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/bs.acr.2020.06.001
Abstract: Vascular mimicry is induced by a wide array of genes with functions related to cancer stemness, hypoxia, angiogenesis and autophagy. Vascular mimicry competent (VM-competent) cells that form de novo blood vessels are common in solid… read more here.

Syntactic chameleons: Are there individual differences in syntactic mimicry and its possible prosocial effects?

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2018.08.018
Abstract: This study investigated whether syntactic mimicry leads to prosocial effects and whether any such effects are modulated by personality traits. Participants and a confederate of the experimenters took turns describing simple scenes. Target scenes could… read more here.

Spiders mimic the acoustic signalling of mutillid wasps to avoid predation: startle signalling or Batesian mimicry?

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.10.015
Abstract: The importance of vision-reliant defensive traits (e.g. warning colours) in mimicry studies is well established, but their effectiveness is limited by visibility. In low light conditions, for instance, acoustic or tactile channels may be more… read more here.
