Coevolution
• Two or more species.• Change in one species serves as a selector for
change in the other species.• Interplay of changing gene frequencies.• Parallel evolutionary paths.
A famous Müllerian mimicrycomplex.
Each species withsubspecies defined bycolor pattern and geography.
What happens at subspecificboundaries?
A mimetic system
Batesian and MüllerianMimicry
Aposematic coloration
