根据正函数和负函数定义了三方拟态系统的八种可能的相互作用(模型、拟态和算子)。根据具体的组成,还识别了系统的五种可能状态。在此基础上形成了一个8乘5的分类矩阵,它包含了所有正常识别的模拟情景。检查每个类的一般属性和示例。特别考虑了这里包括的情况(穆勒模仿),以及没有包括的其他系统(密码、偏转标记),这些系统在其他地方得到了不同的处理。模仿被定义为活体的三部分系统,在这个系统中,敏感的信号接收者(操作者)错误地将模仿识别为模型。需要强调的是,这里开发的系统是对模仿相互作用的分类,而不是对物种的分类。讨论了该系统与自然选择有关的一些含义,以及生态相互作用、收敛和遗传多样性的分类。
The eight possible interactions of a tripartite mimicry system (model, mimic and operator) are defined in terms of positive and negative functions. Five possible states of the system are also recognized in terms of specific composition. From this an eight by five classification matrix is developed, which embraces all normally recognized mimetic situations. Each class is examined for general properties and examples. Special consideration is given to situations (Mullerian mimicry) included here, and to other systems (crypsis, deflective marks) not included, which have been treated differently elsewhere. Mimicry is defined in terms of a tripartite system of living organisms, in which a sensitive signal-receiver ( the operator) misidentifies the mimic as the model. It is emphasized that the system developed here is a classification of mimetic interactions, not a classification of species. Discussion is given on some implications of the system in relation to natural selection, and the classification of ecological interactions, convergence and genetic diversity.
