The importance of female choice, male-male competition, and signal transmission as causes of selection on male mating signals.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2010

Sullivan-Beckers Laura, Cocroft Reginald B

Abstract excerpt

Selection on advertisement signals arises from interacting sources including female choice, male-male competition, and the communication channel (i.e., the signaling environment). To identify the contribution of individual sources of selection, we used previously quantified relationships between signal traits and each putative source to predict relationships between signal variation and fitness in Enchenopa...
