Cross-modal facilitation of auditory discrimination in a frog

LS James, AL Baier, RA Page, P Clements… - Biology …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Stimulation in one sensory modality can affect perception in a separate modality, resulting in

Female gray treefrogs maintain mate choice decisions under predation threat, but adjust movements to reduce conspicuousness during mate approach

OS Feagles, G Höbel - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2022 - Springer
Female mate choice is remarkably complex and has wide-ranging implications for the
strength and direction of male trait evolution. Yet mating decisions can be fickle and …

A test of Sensory Drive in plant–pollinator interactions: heterogeneity in the signalling environment shapes pollinator preference for a floral visual signal

LM Finnell, MH Koski - New Phytologist, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Sensory Drive predicts that habitat‐dependent signal transmission and perception explain
the diversification of communication signals. Whether Sensory Drive shapes floral evolution …
