Acoustic interference and recognition space within a complex assemblage of dend...
Amézquita, Adolfo; Flechas, Sandra V.; Lima, Albertina Pimental; Gasser, Herbert; Hödl, WalterIn species-rich assemblages of acoustically communicating animals, heterospecific sounds may constrain not only the evolution of signal traits but also the much less-studied signal-processing mechanisms that define the recognition space of a signal. To test the hypothesis that the recognition space is optimally designed, i.e., that it is narrower toward the species that represent the higher potential for acoust...
Calls, colours, shape, and genes: A multi-trait approach to the study of geogra...
Amézquita, Adolfo; Lima, Albertina Pimental; Jehle, Robert; Castellanos, Lina; Ramos, Óscar; Crawford, Andrew J.; Gasser, Herbert; Hödl, WalterEvolutionary divergence in behavioural traits related to mating may represent the initial stage of speciation. Direct selective forces are usually invoked to explain divergence in mate-recognition traits, often neglecting a role for neutral processes or concomitant differentiation in ecological traits. We adopted a multi-trait approach to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind allopatric diverge...
