← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism enhances pollination rates when certain hoverflies resemble bees?
A)Aggressive mimicry increases predator avoidance
B)Batesian mimicry increases flower visits✓
C)Müllerian mimicry reduces competition
D)Automimicry optimizes resource allocation
💡 Explanation
Batesian mimicry allows harmless hoverflies to resemble stinging bees and wasps, thereby deterring predators and increasing the acceptance of flowers by pollinators. The result of *Batesian mimicry* is increased flower visits, rather than other types of mimicry, because predator deterrence is the primary driver; therefore, pollination rates increase.
