Differential Avoidance of Mimetic Salamanders by Free-Ranging Birds
View through CrossRef
Members of a free-ranging avian community avoided the mimetic morph of the salamander
Plethodon cinereus
significantly more often than a nonmimetic morph when offered with the model eft stage of
Notophthalmus viridescens
and the palatable salamander
Desmognathus ochrophaeus
. This is apparently the first demonstration of the efficacy of mimetic coloration of salamanders to uncaged birds.
