Scientists observed the behaviour of Great-tits foraging for artificial prey to understand more clearly how a species evolves to protect themselves from predators. Insects, such as butterflies, have bright contrasting colour patterns that indicate to predators that they are not likely to be palatable. In order to gain greater protection from predators, however, some butterflies evolve to imitate the warning signals of a more highly defended species a phenomenon known as mimicry. Researchers at Liverpool, in collaboration with the University of Jyvskyl in Finland, tested which species of butterfly benefits the most from this technique........
