An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Locomotor mimicry is a subtype of Batesian mimicry in which animals avoid predation by mimicking the movements of another species phylogenetically separated. This can be in the form of mimicking a less desirable species or by mimicking the predator itself. Animals can show similarity in swimming, walking, or flying of their model animals.

dbo:abstract
  • El mimetismo locomotor es un subtipo de mimetismo de tipo batesiano en el cual los animales imitan los movimientos de otras especies no relacionadas para evitar a sus depredadores.​ Puede ser la imitación de una especie menos deseable o del depredador mismo. Puede ser una imitación de la forma de nadar, caminar o volar.​ La compleja interacción entre mímicos, modelos y depredadores (a veces llamados observadores) puede ayudar a explicar semejanzas entre especies más allá de las ideas que emergen del análisis de anatomía comparada.​ En términos de movimiento en general, el mimetismo de movimiento continuo de especies que difieren anatómicamente de sus modelos puede aumentar el costo metabólico. Sin embargo, el beneficio de evitar la depredación supera al costo al proporcionarles mayor supervivencia.​ (es)
  • Locomotor mimicry is a subtype of Batesian mimicry in which animals avoid predation by mimicking the movements of another species phylogenetically separated. This can be in the form of mimicking a less desirable species or by mimicking the predator itself. Animals can show similarity in swimming, walking, or flying of their model animals. The complex interaction between mimics, models, and predators (sometimes called observers) can help explain similarities amongst species beyond ideas that emerge from evolutionary comparative approaches. In terms of overall movement, the continuous locomotor mimicry of a species that differs anatomically from the mimic may increase metabolic cost. However, the benefit of avoiding predation appears to outweigh the increased energy cost, because mimicking animals tend to have higher survival rates than their non-mimicking counterparts. (en)
