Semetic rings: towards the new concept of mimetic resemblances

Theory in Biosciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In order to better understand mimicry and similar phenomena, we introduce the concept of seme as means of horizontal (i.e. trans-lineage) transfer of images. Together with horizontal exchange of genes and epigenetic signals, semes complete the triad of powerful channels enabling synchronous communication across the biosphere.
