The largest bibliography ever produced on the subject of mimicry, aposematism and related phenomena. It contains a total of 5000 bibliographical entries, with information being given on each of them under the following five categories: the geographical region, genus or higher taxonomic group, type of mimicry, the model which is mimicked, and the type of work. The book is equipped with comprehensive indexes. The high degree of cross-referencing between the individual entries and the indexes ensures that the information you are looking for can be found quickly and easily. The publication is indispensable for any academic institution concerned with mimicry (Batesian, Muellerian, Peckhamian) and aposematism. It emphasizes the broader ecological and ethological context. Particular attention is devoted to predation and pollination, but works are also included dealing with eyespots, extreme examples of crypsis, false heads, etc. Ideal for finding relevant material quickly and easily. Also contains older, little-studied works which are nevertheless of a high standard and have a contribution to make to the field.
