Evolutionary divergence in acoustic signals: causes and consequences
Acoustic signals mediate mate choice, resource defense, and species recognition in a broad
range of taxa. It has been proposed, therefore, that divergence in acoustic signals plays a …

The origins of acoustic communication in vertebrates
Z Chen, JJ Wiens - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Acoustic communication is crucial to humans and many other tetrapods, including birds,
frogs, crocodilians, and mammals. However, large-scale patterns in its evolution are largely …

Speciation has a spatial scale that depends on levels of gene flow
Y Kisel, TG Barraclough - The American Naturalist, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
Area is generally assumed to affect speciation rates, but work on the spatial context of
speciation has focused mostly on patterns of range overlap between emerging species …

Ecological limits and diversification rate: alternative paradigms to explain the variation in species richness among clades and regions
DL Rabosky - Ecology letters, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Diversification rate is one of the most important metrics in macroecological and
macroevolutionary studies. Here I demonstrate that diversification analyses can be …

[HTML][HTML] A review of the evolution of animal colour vision and visual communication signals
D Osorio, M Vorobyev - Vision research, 2008 - Elsevier
The visual displays of animals and plants are often colourful, and colour vision allows
animals to respond to these signals as they forage for food, choose mates and so-forth. This …

The mismeasurement of sexual selection
Sexual selection can explain major micro‐and macro‐evolutionary patterns. Much of current
theory predicts that the strength of sexual selection (i) is driven by the relative abundance of …
