New article
[edit]Just quickly put a few brief points together, any edits and additions greatly appreciated Grahams Child 11:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Contradiction
[edit]The paragraph in this article that suggests that sexual mimicry in spotted hyenas is the result of high levels of testosterone contradicts the Spotted Hyena article, which references some research with the quote: 'Androgen-independent mechanisms are likely to also play an important role, as treatment with anti-androgens during fetal development did not produce females without a pseudo-penis (Drea, Weldele, Forger, Coscia, Frank, Licht, and Glickman, 1998).' - DanPope 12:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Human example
[edit]How is this case adaptive? It's a genetic disorder, not sexual mimicry, so I've removed it. Richard001 06:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Move to automimicry?
[edit]There should probably only be one article on automimicry/interspecific mimicry. It might be better to move this there. Richard001 06:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Images copyvios?
[edit]Possible copyvios. Hyena image says "adapted from" a recent book (1997) - which means what? Some of the text deleted? It seems unlikely to qualify for the license given. Mole image is even less clear but doubt it's the work of the uploader. Richard001 (talk) 02:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
