Abstract
In this paper, a mathematical model of random encounters between a predator and two types of prey is presented. One type of prey (model) is noxious to the predator whilst the other is palatable (mimic). The mimics resemble the models in appearance so as to derive some protection from the predator who must avoid the unpalatable models. The populations of both mimics and models are assumed to grow logistically. The effect of learning and population growth on prey attacks is examined via simulations.
