Hidden in taxonomy: Batesian mimicry by a syrphid fly towards a Patagonian bumblebee
1.Batesian mimicry has been repeatedly reported in syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae), with noxious Hymenoptera identified as the models, including bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Aculeata). Despite the number of detailed studies of bumblebee mimics from the Holarctic, only minimal biological and ecological information is available for the same phenomenon in most other biogeographical...Polidori, C ; Nieves-Aldrey, J L ; Gilbert, Francis ; Rotheray, Graham E
