Preliminary scope of work

Cílem práce je testovat zda: (1) phylogenetická blízkost zvyšuje pravděpodobnost výskytu mimikry u bezprostředně nepříbuzných si skupin organismů; (2) existuje vztah mezi příbuzností taxonů a mírou podobnosti mezi modelem a mimem?

Preliminary scope of work in English

Tested hypotheses: Does phylogenetic proximity positively correlates with the likelihood of an evolutionary origin of mimicry? Is there apositive association between phylogenetic relatedness and mimicry perfection?
