Changes in sexual signals are greater than changes in ecological traits in a dichromatic group of fishes.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2014

Martin Michael D, Mendelson Tamra C

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms by which phenotypic divergence occurs is central to speciation research. These mechanisms can be revealed by measuring differences in traits that are subject to different selection pressures; greater influence of different types of selection can be inferred from greater divergence in associated traits. Here, we address the potential roles of natural and sexual selection in promoting...
