Abstract. Naturally selected adaptations are often thought to impair the elaboration of conspicuous sexual signals. In katydids, males produce acoustic sig

Abstract High levels of anthropogenic noise pollution affect wildlife globally. Traffic noise contributes a ubiquitous source of noise pollution and shows high intensity at lower sound frequencies.…

Abstract Sexual selection theory focuses on variation in mating success caused by a shortage of mates relative to same-sex competitors, but variation in mating success can also arise if mates are…

The evolution of female preferences for male display traits relies on females receiving indirect benefits from their mate. This requires substantia...

Animal cognitive abilities can vary widely among individuals. This study examined how individual differences in cognition covary with behavioral, physiolog

With government funding in decline, researchers should prioritize data collation and training the next generation of scientists.

Americans think higher ed is increasingly unaffordable. The data says otherwise.

Abstract. Darwin and Bateman suggested that precopulatory sexual selection is more intense on males than females, and that this difference is due to anisog

Abstract. Male mating tactics, the morphological and behavioral traits that males employ to access potential mates, alter female space use, time budget, an

When mating females cannibalize males, both males and the parasites they host die. So, the parasite should manipulate the male host to escape. We show that

Abstract. Sexual communication often takes place in networks with multiple competing signalers being simultaneously assessed by mate choosers. Altered sens

Abstract. Many influential mathematical models of sexual selection have stressed that mating preferences evolve due to correlations that build between mati
