Extended phenotypes as signals.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 May 2009

Schaedelin Franziska C, Taborsky Michael

Abstract excerpt

Animal signals may result from construction behaviour and can provide receivers with essential information in various contexts. Here we explore the potential benefits of extended phenotypes with a signalling function as compared to bodily ornaments and behavioural displays. Their independence of the body, their physical persistence and the morphological and cognitive conditions required for their construction...
