The impact of learning on sexual selection and speciation
Learning is widespread in nature, occurring in most animal taxa and in several different
ecological contexts and, thus, might play a key role in evolutionary processes. Here, we …

Geographic variation in animal colour polymorphisms and its role in speciation
CA McLean, D Stuart‐Fox - Biological Reviews, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
