Abundant tiny turtle ants can foster notably speciose mimicry complexes

In the current study, I report a single-site mimicry complex involving 20 arthropods from 12 families in five orders resembling the small turtle ant Cephalotes pusillus. The complex is the most species-rich single-site complex with predominately Batesian mimics that has been reported so far. Considering that small turtle ants are likely less defended than highly noxious butterflies or aculeate Hymenoptera with potent stingers, possible factors explaining the high species richness of the complex may include high model abundance, small body size and easy to develop morphological resemblance.

期刊介绍： Austral Ecology is the premier journal for basic and applied ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. As the official Journal of The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA), Austral Ecology addresses the commonality between ecosystems in Australia and many parts of southern Africa, South America, New Zealand and Oceania. For example many species in the unique biotas of these regions share common Gondwana ancestors. ESA''s aim is to publish innovative research to encourage the sharing of information and experiences that enrich the understanding of the ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. Austral Ecology involves an editorial board with representatives from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil and Argentina. These representatives provide expert opinions, access to qualified reviewers and act as a focus for attracting a wide range of contributions from countries across the region. Austral Ecology publishes original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. Special thematic issues are published regularly, including symposia on the ecology of estuaries and soft sediment habitats, freshwater systems and coral reef fish.
