ABSTRACT Here we document three cases of mimicry in coral reef fishes not previously reported in the literature involving two groupers (Epinephelus leucogrammicus and Plectropomus marisrubri) and a soapfish (Diploprion drachi) as mimics, and two wrasses (Larabicus quadrilineatus and Cheilinus quinquecinctus) and a blenny (Meiacanthus nigrolineatus) as models. All three cases are of aggressive mimicry, with a predatory species mimicking a harmless one, and in one of the cases, the mimicry is also Müllerian, where both the predator and harmless species are unpalatable.

披着羊皮的狼:红海珊瑚礁鱼类攻击性模仿的三个新案例

摘要 在这里,我们记录了三个以前未在文献中报道过的珊瑚礁鱼类的模仿案例,涉及两种石斑鱼(Epinephelus leucogrammicus 和 Plectropomus marisrubri)和一种肥皂鱼(Diploprion drachi)作为模仿物,以及两种隆头鱼(Larabicus quadrilineatus 和 Cheilinus quinquecinctus)和blenny (Meiacanthus nigrolineatus) 作为模型。所有这三种情况都是侵略性模仿,掠食性物种模仿无害物种,在其中一种情况下,模仿也是苗勒式的,在这种情况下,捕食者和无害物种都令人不快。
