How spiders practice aggressive and Batesian mimicry

摘要: To understand communication, the interests of sender and receiver/s signals should be considered separately. When our goal is to adaptive significance specific responses by receiver, questions about signal information are useful. However, when generating a signal, it may better envisage receiver’s response as part sender’s extended phenotype. By making signals, interfaces with model world indirectly manipulates its behaviour. This especially clear in cases mimicry, where animals use deceptive that manipulate behaviour receivers. Many adopt Batesian mimicry deceive their predators, or aggressive prey. We review examples from literature on spiders illustrate how these phenomena, traditionally thought distinct, can become entangled web lies.
