Browerian mimicry, named after Lincoln P. Brower and Jane Van Zandt Brower, is a postulated form of automimicry; where the model belongs to the same species as the mimic. This is the analogue of Batesian mimicry within a single species, and occurs when there is a palatability spectrum within a population.
