Extreme climatic events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods, have been implicated in
altering various phenotypic traits in affected populations. The 2015 El Niño cycle led to one …

In animal communication, receivers benefit from signals providing reliable information on
signalers' traits of interest. Individuals involved in conflicts, such as competition between …

In chorusing species, sound frequency has been suggested as a decisive cue for male body
size in female mate choice. However, few studies on the female choice of male song …

Reproductive habitat selection—deciding where to mate and where to raise offspring—is a
critical component of successful reproduction. Parents selecting sites to signal to or search …

Animals pass information about their sexual availability and quality as a mate with sexual
signals. The evolution of sexual signals is also affected by the preference of choosing mates …
