← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a Batesian mimic butterfly deviates significantly from its model species' warning coloration?
A)Increased predation by visually hunting birds✓
B)Enhanced intraspecific mating opportunities
C)Greater immune response due to toxicity
D)Decreased larval food source competition
💡 Explanation
Increased predation occurs because the mechanism of deterrent mimicry relies on visual similarity to discourage predators; therefore, deviation reduces protection, rather than boosting mating, immunity, or reducing competition, which are indirect effects.
