Viceroy butterflies and Monarch butterflies look similar in their bright coloration. Scientists have known for a long time that Monarch butterflies are toxic to many predators and had thought that Viceroy butterflies were copying the Monarch coloration but were not themselves toxic. Recent evidence has demonstrated that Viceroy butterflies are actually toxic. This would be interpreted as a change from: O previous classification as Batesian mimicry to current classification as Mullerian mimicry O previous classification as Mullerian mimicry to current classification as Batesian mimicry O previous classification as Aposomatic coloration to current classification as Batesian mimicry Cprevious classification as Mullerian mimicry to current classification as Aposomatic coloration

Viceroy butterflies and Monarch butterflies look similar in their bright coloration.
Scientists have known for a long time that Monarch butterflies are toxic to many
predators and had thought that Viceroy butterflies were copying the Monarch
coloration but were not themselves toxic. Recent evidence has demonstrated that
Viceroy butterflies are actually toxic. This would be interpreted as a change from:
O previous classification as Batesian mimicry to current classification as Mullerian mimicry
O previous classification as Mullerian mimicry to current classification as Batesian mimicry
O previous classification as Aposomatic coloration to current classification as Batesian
mimicry
previous classification as Mullerian mimicry to current classification as Aposomatic
coloration
