When monarchs are common and viceroys are scarce in the same environment, viceroys are protected because birds cannot distinguish them from monarchs. If monarchs become scarce and viceroys much more common, what do you predict will happen?


Viceroys will be eaten more frequently because few birds have had recent bad experiences with monarchs.
