This phenomenon is exhibited by the evolution of wild rye caused by the artificial selection of wheat crops, first noticed by Nikolai Vavilov. The Mertensian type allows predators to be injured non-fatally by a less harmful species, allowing them to learn that pattern. One type occurs when two or more harmful species both share each other's warning signals, while another type occurs when a tasteful species imitates a distasteful species. Exhibited by snakes and butterflies, for 10 points, name this biological phenomenon, whose best-known types are Müllerian and Batesia
