How do complex animal signals evolve?
December 17, 2018
A well-developed framework for the complimentary issue of signal evolution on sensory landscapes is lacking. This might be due in part to difficulties with analyzing complex signals in a comparative framework. We are on the cusp of breakthroughs in this area, with new "phylogenetic natural history" approaches that allow researchers to infer adaptive landscapes from trait data
