Journal ArticleDOI
Artificial selection for food colour preferences
Gemma L. Cole,John A. Endler +1 more
TL;DR: The behavioural response to several colours after five generations of selection suggests that the colour opponency system of the fish may regulate the response to selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral and selective drivers of colour evolution in a widespread Australian passerine
Hernán E. Morales,Alexandra Pavlova,Paul Sunnucks,Richard E. Major,Nevil Amos,Leo Joseph,Biao Wang,Alan R. Lemmon,John A. Endler,Kaspar Delhey,Kaspar Delhey +10 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the need to assess selective and neutral alternatives at multiple spatial scales when studying geographical variation, and suggest that environmental variation has a role in facilitating the maintenance of colour variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bowerbirds, art and aesthetics: Are bowerbirds artists and do they have an aesthetic sense?
TL;DR: By operational definitions of art, judgement, and an aesthetic sense which depend upon communication theory which allow one to get explicit answers to this question, Great Bowerbirds are artists, judge art, and therefore have a aesthetic sense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does conspicuousness scale linearly with colour distance? A test using reef fish
Carl Santiago,Naomi F. Green,Nadia Hamilton,John A. Endler,Daniel Osorio,N. Justin Marshall,Karen L. Cheney +6 more
TL;DR: The RNL model may provide accurate estimates for perceptual distance for small suprathreshold distance colours, even in complex viewing environments, but must be used with caution with perceptual distances exceeding 10 ΔS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative Hypotheses in Biogeography: Introduction and Synopsis of the Symposium
TL;DR: The symposium was organized to bring together what I thought were particularly interesting examples of each approach to ecological determinism, and it is obvious from the papers that there are multiple explanations for most species distributions, and that some effort should be made to integrate them.
