模仿涉及模仿者和模型之间的适应性相似。然而，尽管最近有很多研究，但它在植物中仍然存在争议。在这里，我们回顾了最近的进展，研究欺骗花，区分植物依赖模仿，以实现授粉和那些依赖于利用动物的感知偏差。我们揭示了这两种机制之间的根本差异，并解释了为什么开发的演变比模仿的限制少。因此，对知觉偏差的利用可能是模仿逐渐进化的前兆。增加对动物感官和认知过滤器的了解，以及维持它们的选择压力，应该有助于研究人员追踪植物欺骗的进化动力学。
Mimicry involves adaptive resemblance between a mimic and a model. However, despite much recent research, it remains contentious in plants. Here, we review recent progress on studying deception by flowers, distinguishing between plants relying on mimicry to achieve pollination and those relying on the exploitation of the perceptual biases of animals. We disclose fundamental differences between both mechanisms and explain why the evolution of exploitation is less constrained than that of mimicry. Exploitation of perceptual biases might thus be a precursor for the gradual evolution of mimicry. Increasing knowledge on the sensory and cognitive filters in animals, and on the selective pressures that maintain them, should aid researchers in tracing the evolutionary dynamics of deception in plants.
