Tactics of evasion: strategies used by signallers to deter eavesdropping enemies from exploiting communication systems
Eavesdropping predators, parasites and parasitoids exploit signals emitted by their prey and
hosts for detection, assessment, localization and attack, and in the process impose strong …

The exploitation of sexual signals by predators: a meta-analysis
Sexual signals are often central to reproduction, and their expression is thought to strike a
balance between advertising to mates and avoiding detection by predatory eavesdroppers …

No effect of testosterone or sexual ornamentation on telomere dynamics: A case study and meta‐analyses
Life‐history theory predicts that reproductive investments are traded‐off against self‐
maintenance. Telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes, offer a promising …

How does rapid body color change affect the conspicuity of lizards to their predators and conspecifics?
A Rojo, L Swierk - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2024 - Springer
Predator–prey interactions drive the evolution of prey visual camouflage, but prey species
also must remain conspicuous to their conspecifics for social signaling purposes. Whether …

Diving behavior in semi-aquatic Anolis lizards results in heat loss with sex-specific cooling tolerance
Males and females often differ in use of antipredator behaviors, particularly when
antipredator behavior comes at the cost of missed mating opportunities or territory defense …

Sexual signal conspicuity is correlated with tail autotomy in an anoline lizard
Sexual selection favors conspicuous signals that animals can use to communicate with
conspecifics and/or to attract mates. However, natural and sexual selection are often in …
