An increasing number of studies find females to base their mate choice on several cues.
Why this occurs is debated and many different hypotheses have been proposed. Here I …

Many animals produce and respond to signals made up of multiple components. For
example, many avian sexual displays are highly extravagant combinations of visual and …

There is a bewildering diversity of signals, sensory systems, and signaling behavior. A
consideration of how these traits affect each other's evolution explains some of this diversity …

Despite decades of interest, the adaptive significance of the extraordinary diversity in the
design of animal signals remains elusive. It is suggested that signal design consists of two …

Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an
important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I …

Relations between structure, function, and constraint in the chemical communication
systems of terrestrial vertebrates are examined from a design-feature perspective. A survey …

Eyespots are found in a variety of animals, in particular lepidopterans. The role of eyespots
as antipredator mechanisms has been discussed since the 19th Century, with two main …

Selective attention refers to the ability to restrict neural processing and behavioral responses
to a relevant subset of available stimuli, while simultaneously excluding other valid stimuli …

Within species, natural and sexual selection work together to shape the design of animal
communicative systems, and sometimes act differentially on alternate components to …
