Twenty years ago, Dominy and colleagues published “The sensory ecology of primate food
perception,” an impactful review that brought new perspectives to understanding primate …

It has been 25 years since the formalization of the Sensory Drive hypothesis was published
in the American Naturalist (1992). Since then, there has been an explosion of research …

Circadian rhythms, which measure time on a scale of 24 h, are genetically generated by the
circadian clock, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of almost every physiological and …

Although signal characteristics and sensory systems are predicted to co-evolve according to
environmental constraints, this hypothesis has not been tested for acoustic signalling across …

Time is considered a resource in limited supply, and temporal niche separation is one of the
most common strategies that allow ecologically similar species to live in sympatry …

Diurnal haplorhines exhibit derived traits for high-acuity photopic vision, unique across
mammals, and many other vertebrates. Yet, sometime in the mid-Miocene (12–15 MYA), the …

Some primate populations include both trichromatic and dichromatic (red–green colour
blind) individuals due to allelic variation at the X-linked opsin locus. This polymorphic …

Understanding trait evolution is essential for explaining modern biological diversity, and this
is particularly exemplified by studies of coloration. Recent studies have applied evolutionary …

Abstract The lemurs of Madagascar (Primates: Lemuriformes) are a monophyletic group that
has lived in isolation from other primates for about 50 million years. Lemurs have diversified …

Vertebrate color vision is an ideal system for studying the gains and losses of genetic
variation across lineages and impacts on behavior. Among placental mammals, trichromatic …
