Significant aspects of mimicry are discussed in Wolfgang Wickler, Mimicry in Plants and Animals (1968; originally published in German, 1968); Bastiaan J.D. Meeuse, The Story of Pollination (1961), on insect–flower relationships; Hugh B. Cott, Adaptive Coloration in Animals (1940, reprinted 1966); Bertil Kullenberg, Studies in Ophrys Pollination (1961), on mimicry in orchids; and Denis Owen, Camouflage and Mimicry (1980). More research is described in Thomas Eisner and Edward O. Wilson (comps.), Animal Behavior: Readings from Scientific American (1975), and The Insects: Readings from Scientific American (1977). Types of mimicry are discussed in G. Pasteur, “A Classificatory Review of Mimicry Systems,” Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 13:169–199 (1982). A series of articles in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Series B, analyzes the mechanism of specific Batesian mimicS: Cyril A. Clarke, Philip M. Sheppard, and I.W.B. Thornton, “The Genetics of the Mimetic Butterfly Papilio memnon L.,” 254:37–89 (1968); Cyril A. Clarke and Philip M. Sheppard, “Further Studies on the Genetics of the Mimetic Butterfly Papilio memnon L.,” 263:35–70 (1971), and “The Genetics of the Mimetic Butterfly Hypolimnas bolina L.,” 272:229–265 (1975). Other journal articles on mimicry include J.R.G. Turner, “Adaptation and Evolution in Heliconius: A Defense of Neo-Darwinism,” Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 12:99–121 (1981); on plants, D. Wiens, “Mimicry in Plants,” Evolutionary Biology, 11:365–403 (1978); Spencer C.H. Barrett, “Crop Mimicry in Weeds,” Economic Botany, 37:255–282 (1983), and “Mimicry in Plants,” Scientific American, 257(3):76–83 (September 1987); and on birds, P.K. McGregor and J.R. Krebs, “Song Learning and Deceptive Mimicry,” Animal Behaviour, 32:280–287 (1984).
