Which consequence results when a Batesian mimic butterfly deviates significantly from its model species' warning coloration?

💡 Explanation

Increased predation occurs because the mechanism of deterrent mimicry relies on visual similarity to discourage predators; therefore, deviation reduces protection, rather than boosting mating, immunity, or reducing competition, which are indirect effects.
