Sexual selection and diversification: reexamining the correlation between dichromatism and speciation rate in birds.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2014

Huang Huateng, Rabosky Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that sexual selection can serve as an important driver of speciation, but phylogenetic comparative analyses have failed to demonstrate a consistent effect of sexual selection on species richness at macroevolutionary scales. Sexual dichromatism in birds is an example of a phenotypic trait that is hypothesized to reflect the intensity of sexual selection, yet previous studies have reached ambiguous...
