Abstract:

Mimicry is a similarity of one organism to another. With mimicry, distantly related animals can show similar appearance. Lepidopteran wing color pattern is one of the well-established systems to study the genetics of mimicry. After finding the locus controlling mimicry by GWAS study, it’s even more interesting to look at how these mimetic genes origin and evolve.
