Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?
We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models. After accounting for site, season, microclimatic re...
