The term for the phenomenon where one species evolves to resemble another is Batesian mimicry. This evolutionary strategy enables a non-toxic or harmless species to gain protection from predators by resembling a harmful or toxic species. Through this mimicry, the harmless species can avoid predation while the model species benefits from its protective adaptations. Batesian mimicry plays a critical role in the dynamics of predator-prey interactions and encourages diversity in evolutionary strategies within ecosystems.
