Behavioral interference between species, such as territorial aggression, courtship, and
mating, is widespread in animals. While aggressive and reproductive forms of interspecific …

Support for the role of sexual selection in speciation has grown over the last 30 years. Work
in this area, however, has largely focused on a single dominant question: when and how do …

Spatial co‐occurrence patterns are determined by environmental factors, such as food
availability or habitat characteristics and by biotic associations. When resources are limited …

Hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an important cause of diversification and
adaptation. Here, we show how divergence in male secondary sexual characters between …

Background Some people are highly motivated to seek aggressive encounters, and among
those who have been incarcerated for such behavior, recidivism rates are high. These …

Urbanization represents an extreme transformation of more natural systems. Populations of
most species decline or disappear with urbanization, and yet some species persist and even …

Many classical ecological and evolutionary theoretical frameworks posit that competition
between species is an important selective force. For example, in adaptive radiations …

Theorists have identified several mechanisms through which species that compete
exploitatively for resources could coexist. By contrast, under the current theory, interference …

Costly interactions between species that arise as a by-product of ancestral similarities in
communication signals are expected to persist only under specific evolutionary …

Biological diversity depends on the interplay between evolutionary diversification and
ecological mechanisms allowing species to coexist. Current research increasingly integrates …
