Primes¶
- Signifier
- The two failure modes both appear: a palatable mimic wearing the warning pattern without the sting is a false signifier (advertising an affordance it lacks), and a dangerous-but-drab insect is a missing signifier (a real hazard with no perceivable cue, hence eaten).
This sourceOriginates Batesian mimicry — a palatable mimic wearing a warning pattern it does not back with a defense, the canonical false signifier.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
