The book critically examines the tripartite mimicry model, focusing on the interactions between mimic, model, and receiver species. It introduces semiotic tools for comparative analysis, proposing a dual structure of mimicry that intertwines sign relations in communication with ecological dynamics. Advocating for multi-constructivism and toolbox-like conceptual methods, it emphasizes the importance of considering the participants' Umwelten and the cultural meanings associated with specific instances of mimicry.

This Element provides an accessible introduction to ecosemiotics -the study of sign processes responsible for ecological phenomena - and demonstrates its pertinence for the study of today's unstable culture-nature relations. It considers the diverse nature of influences, cultural connections and models associated with ecosemiotics.

This volume is the first reader dedicated to the discipline of zoosemiotics- the study of signification, communication and representation within and across animal species.
