Why animal communication displays are so complex and how they have evolved are active
foci of research with a long and rich history. Progress towards an evolutionary analysis of …

Due to human perceptional bias in favor of air-borne sounds, substrate-borne vibrational
signaling has been traditionally regarded as a highly specialized, inherently short-range …

The classification of jumping spiders (Salticidae) is revised to bring it into accord with recent
phylogenetic work. Of the 610 recognized extant and fossil genera, 588 are placed at least …

Though it has long been known that animal communication is complex, recent years have
seen growing interest in understanding the extent to which animals give multicomponent …

Individuals of some animal species have been taught simple versions of human language
despite their natural communication systems failing to rise to the level of a simple language …

Sexual selection by mate choice is a powerful force that can lead to evolutionary change,
and models of why females choose particular mates are central to understanding its effects …

Machine learning has been advancing dramatically over the past decade. Most strides are
human-based applications due to the availability of large-scale datasets; however …

Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are famous for their visually driven behaviors [1]. Here,
however, we present behavioral and neurophysiological evidence that these animals also …

The concept of a macroevolutionary trade-off among sexual signals has a storied history in
evolutionary biology. Theory predicts that if multiple sexual signals are costly for males to …

Schizocosa wolf spiders show tremendous diversity in courtship complexity, with different
species employing varying numbers of components within and across sensory modalities …
