换句话说，"不像"不一定吃亏。如果它们能让一部分捕食者上当，就足够活下去并传宗接代了。这也解 释了为什么在自然界中，我们会看到如此多样的拟态形态——从完美复刻到似像非像，每一种都有它的 生存空间。 科学家还测试了"多面手"式拟态的想法，也就是试图同时模仿多种有毒生物。不过实验结果显示，这 种"广撒网"策略并没有带来额外的好处。也就是说，与其费劲地模仿多个对象，不如专攻一种，骗住关 键的捕食者更有效。 这项研究不仅揭开了拟态演化中的一个谜团，也让我们意识到：在大自然的舞台上，生存的关键不是完 美，而是够用。 哪怕只是披上一件"吓人"的外衣，只要能在关键时刻躲过一劫，就已经足够成功了。（记者 张梦然） 由英国诺丁汉大学科学家领导的研究团队用3D打印技术制作了一系列昆虫模型，包括真正的胡蜂、各 种不同程度模仿胡蜂的食蚜蝇，还有完全不相关的普通苍蝇。然后把这些小家伙放在野外，观察捕食者 的反应。 结果发现，鸟类这个主要的捕食者群体非常"眼尖"。它们不仅能分辨出哪些是真胡蜂、哪些是假货，还 特别擅长识别那些模仿得不够像的"冒牌货"。当面对这些3D打印的猎物时，鸟儿们大多选择避开真正 有毒的胡蜂模型，而更愿意尝试那些拟态 ...
