Listen to a conversation between a student and her biology professor.

(professor) So, Susan, what's on your mind?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Well, I got back my paper yesterday. You know, the first essay you assigned.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) Yes.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) I noticed that, well, you lowered my grade.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) That's because you submitted it late.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) But I turned it in on the due date. I slipped it under your office door that afternoon.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) If you read the syllabus closely, you'll see that you're expected to submit the assignments on the due date during class.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Oh. I guess…

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) We're still early in the semester. There's plenty of chances to excel in other assignments, like the oral presentations the class will be giving next month. From the outline you submitted, it looks like yours will be quite good.

隐藏原文=

(female student) I've really enjoyed class recently and when we discussed mimicry, well, I thought what a great topic for my oral report, especially the part on…

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Here I wrote it down. Yeah, Batesian mimicry. So, Batesian mimicry, we said that's when a non-poisonous animal mimics, copies a poisonous animal in some way, say to trick a predator like how a non-poisonous butterfly might have the same color as a poisonous one.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) Right. We discussed many examples…

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) like the Viceroy Butterfly. I'm gonna put that example in my talk about how the Viceroy Butterfly mimics the Monarch Butterfly.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The Monarch really is poisonous to keep predators from eating it. And the orange color of the Viceroy's wing looks just like the Monarch’s.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) We did discuss that in class, how predators avoid the Monarch because it's toxic, and the Viceroy color resembles the Monarch’s.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But you remember how we said the Viceroy is not the best example of Batesian mimicry.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Um…

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) In the 1990s, researchers show that the Viceroy should be classified as a Mullerian mimic.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Yeah. Here it is, Mullerian mimicry.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) Mullerian mimicry is when two species, each of which is toxic, resemble each other.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Yeah, I totally forgot. The researchers, they conducted a study and found that the Viceroy is also toxic. So, Monarchs and Viceroys, they increase each other's protection from predators.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) Exactly, sounds as though you've got the makings for a good talk.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(female student) Thanks. You know, this stuff is so neat. I'd like to learn more about it. I was thinking for my final paper, the research paper at the end of the semester. Maybe I could go deeper into all that.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

(professor) Well, that kind of research is reported mostly in technical journals. It's okay for next month's oral presentation, which can just summarize the results.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But for a 10-page final paper, why don't you hold off on picking a topic until after the oral presentations? We'll be covering some fascinating material in the meantime.
