Unit 3

A snake shedding its skin

A bird building a nest

A stick insect resembling a twig to blend in with its surroundings.

A fish swimming quickly to avoid a predator

A phenomenon where animals change their physical appearance to match their environment.

A type of bird behavior that involves courtship displays.

The ability of a plant to mimic the appearance of a different species.

A warning coloration used by animals to signal potential predators of their toxicity or unpalatability.

The process by which an animal sheds its exoskeleton.

A migratory bird.

A speedy cheetah.

A brightly colored poison dart frog.

A camouflaged chameleon.

A nocturnal owl.

A type of mimicry where two harmless species imitate each other's appearances

A type of mimicry where a toxic species imitates the appearance of a harmless species

A form of mimicry where a harmless species imitates the appearance of a harmful or toxic species

A type of mimicry where a predator imitates the appearance of its prey

A form of competition between members of the same species.

A relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of another.

A type of camouflage used by prey animals.

A phenomenon in which two or more unpalatable species resemble each other.

The process of one species imitating the behavior of another species.

The resemblance between a monarch butterfly and a viceroy butterfly.

A predator mimicking the behavior of its prey to catch it.

The ability of a stick insect to blend in with its surroundings.

A moth camouflaging as a leaf to avoid predators.

A flower evolving to attract specific pollinators.

Mullerian mimicry occurs between the same species, while Batesian mimicry occurs between different species.

Mullerian mimicry involves the mimicry of behaviors, while Batesian mimicry involves mimicry of physical appearance.

In Mullerian mimicry, both the mimics and the models are unpalatable, while in Batesian mimicry, the mimics are harmless but resemble harmful models.

In Mullerian mimicry, the mimics resemble predators, while in Batesian mimicry, the mimics resemble prey.

When one species benefits and the other is unaffected

When two species form a mutualistic relationship
