Wasp Mimicry Mimicry‚ essentially‚ is some type of resemblance between two unrelated organisms which improves the organisms’ chances of survival against a common predator. This resemblance can be seen in warning signs‚ typically visually with colors and patterns‚ but organisms can also have resemblances in smells and many other traits that deceive the predator into believing the insect is something that it’s not‚ saving the insect’s life. Mimicry typically involves three things: a model‚ a mimic

OPTIMAL FORAGING PATTERNS IN SILVER GULLS (LARUS NOVAEHOLLANDIAE) ABSTRACT There appears to be different types of foraging behaviour patterns that are shown by different species throughout the world. These different patterns affect the amount of food gained by the individual as well as the amount of food gained by others in that species. In this study the silver gull’s (Larus novaehollandiae) forging patterns were studied‚ to determine what‚ if any‚ foraging strategies they engaged in. Three

Critical Commentary of Homi Bhabha’s ‘Of Mimicry and Man: The ambivalence of Colonial discourse’ Homi Bhabha explains the weaknesses of colonial discourse by suggesting that the techniques which ‘broadcast the dominance and impenetrability’ (Kumar-Das 1992:362) of the subject causes its weaknesses to arise. Bhabha makes a psychoanalytic analysis based on the work of Jacques Lacan and Frantz Fanon‚ among several authors. His definition of colonial mimicry takes the form of discussing the issues

Nevertheless‚ it was to mimicry that the colonizer turned to rule over the colonized‚ at once weakening its claim to authority as mimicry encourages the hybridity that the colonizer resists and equips the colonized to resist the authority of the colonizer. By refusing to accept hybridity yet utilizing mimicry within the colonized‚ the colonizer becomes a manifestation of ambivalence as he creates the conditions necessary

Mimicry‚ Ambivalence‚ and Hybridity Daniel Dafoe’s 1719 novel‚ Robinson Crusoe‚ is a rich text for understanding the mechanisms of European colonialism and the relation between the colonizer and the colonized (represented by Crusoe and Friday). Dafoe represents Crusoe as being the ultimate incarnation of an Englishman: industrious‚ self-determining and ready to colonize natives. Crusoe encounters a native and he names him Friday‚ teaches him English‚ the words of God‚ and slowly “civilizes”

Admiral butterflies (genus Limenitis) are a particularly appealing system to address questions regarding wing pattern evolution and speciation. This genus is unusual among other butterflies in that mimicry has evolved multiple times and hybridization is frequent between wing pattern forms. An interesting fact of wing pattern evolution within this genus is the apparent differences between the largely stereotypic Paleartic fauna and the highly variable Nearctic forms of butterflies. Palearctic

Hannah Green 8 February 2013 Fitzgerald’s Mimicry of Success in The Great Gatsby The decade of the 1920s was defined by the pursuit of success and the “American ideal.” Following the end of the First World War in 1918‚ America was consumed by skepticism and hedonism stemming from emotional backlash from the dynamics of warfare. Americans were fueled by the promise of ascendancy and prestige that came with the image of the American ideal that defined success.1 Michael O’Neal describes in his
