The role of sexual selection in adaptation is disputed. A balance between sexual and
viability selection can be achieved in stable environments, but environmental perturbations …

ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
selection varies so much in strength across taxa; it has long been known that ecological …

Visual signals are shaped by variation in the signaling environment through a process
termed sensory drive, sometimes leading to speciation. However, the evidence for sensory …

In this work, we explore the potential influence of sensory ecology on speciation, including
but not limited to the concept of sensory drive, which concerns the coevolution of signals and …

Pollution (eg by chemicals, noise, light, heat) is an insidious consequence of anthropogenic
activity that affects environments worldwide. Exposure of wildlife to pollutants has the …

Human activities by altering environmental conditions are influencing the mate choice of
animals. This is by impacts on:(i) the production and expression of traits evaluated by mate …

Abstract Changes in mating signals among populations contribute to species formation.
Often these signals involve a suite of display traits of different sensory modalities …

Human-induced environmental changes alter terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
This influences also evolutionary processes, such as sexual selection, by constraining mate …

Background: Stickleback fishes are an outstanding model for understanding evolution and
ecology. Celebrating successes and identifying new questions, the Seventh International …

Increasing turbidity in streams and rivers near human activity is cause for environmental
concern, as the ability of aquatic organisms to use visual information declines. To investigate …
