摘要:

The eight possible interactions of a tripartite mimicry system (model, mimic and operator) are defined in terms of positive and negative functions. Five possible states of the system are also recognized in terms of specific composition. From this an eight by five classification matrix is developed, which embraces all normally recognized mimetic situations. Each class is examined for general properties and examples. Special consideration is given to situations (Mullerian mimicry) included here, and to other systems (crypsis, deflective marks) not included, which have been treated differently elsewhere. Mimicry is defined in terms of a tripartite system of living organisms, in which a sensitive signal‐receiver (the operator) misidentifies the mimic as the model. It is emphasized that the system developed here is a classification of mimetic‐interactions, not a classification of species. Discussion is given on some implications of the system in relation to natural selection, and the classification of ecological interactions, convergence and genetic divers

摘要:

T. R. R. Stebbing (1835–1926), a specialist on the systematics of amphipod Crustacea, was raised in London in a literary family and studied classics, law and history at Oxford. After his ordination as a priest in 1859 he was a schoolmaster, then, after he married, a private tutor at Torquay. About 1863 he read Darwin'sOrigin of speciesand was convinced by it; by 1868 he had become a naturalist and systematist. In 1877 he moved to Tunbridge Wells where he spent the rest of his life studying Crustacea, active in scientific societies, and writing essays and reviews.Stebbing's Darwinism was not particularly original, though he marshalled some good examples from the invertebrates to indicate the importance of variation within and between species. He regarded natural selection as a directing force by which God's plan for organisms was being worked out, and credited it with the origin of language, morality and religion. In taxonomic practice, Stebbing advocated priority of names, simple rules of transliteration and gender, and publication of new names only in a few easily‐accessible journals. After the publication of theRegies internationales de la nomenclature zoologiquein 1905 his writings on taxonomic practice were confined to minor issues.A bibliography of Stebbing's 242 publications concerned with carcinology, Darwinism, nomenclature and miscellaneous subjects has been compi
