TLDR
A conceptual framework for testing the relative significance of both adaptive and neutral mechanisms leading to acoustic divergence is summarized, predictions for cases where these processes lead to speciation are predicted, and how their relative importance plays out over evolutionary time are summarized.Abstract:
Acoustic signals mediate mate choice, resource defense, and species recognition in a broad range of taxa. It has been proposed, therefore, that divergence in acoustic signals plays a key role in speciation. Nonetheless, the processes driving divergence of acoustic traits and their consequences in terms of speciation are poorly understood. A review of empirical and comparative studies reveals strong support for a role of sexual selection in acoustic divergence, but the possible concomitant influences of ecological context are rarely examined. We summarize a conceptual framework for testing the relative significance of both adaptive and neutral mechanisms leading to acoustic divergence, predictions for cases where these processes lead to speciation, and how their relative importance plays out over evolutionary time.read more

Acoustic, genetic and morphological variations within the katydid Gampsocleis sedakovii (Orthoptera, Tettigonioidea).
TL;DR: An analysis of the genetic, calling songs, and morphological variations within the species Gampsocleis sedakovii from Inner Mongolia, China provides evidence for insect acoustic signal divergence and the process of subspeciation.

Evolution and Ecology in Widespread Acoustic Signaling Behavior Across Fishes
Aaron N. Rice,Stacy C. Farina,Andrea Makowski,Ingrid M. Kaatz,Philip S. Lobel,William E. Bemis,Andrew H. Bass +6 more
TL;DR: This work maps the most comprehensive data set of volitional sound production of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) yet assembled onto a family level phylogeny of the group, a clade representing more than half of extant vertebrate species.

Female answer specificity to male drumming calls in three closely related species of the stonefly genus Zwicknia (Plecoptera: Capniidae)
Kirill Márk Orci,Dávid Murányi +1 more
TL;DR: Females answered conspecific male calls with significantly higher probability than heterospecific calls in all the three examined species, suggesting that the divergence of vibrational communication can be an important component of the prezygotic isolation between them.

Interspecific song imitation by a Prairie Warbler
TL;DR: The authors' evidence suggests that the focal bird's aberrant singing evoked normal responses from potential mates and rivals, and the general failure of heterospecific songs, once acquired, to spread through populations by cultural transmission is probably not attributable to a lack of recognition by conspecifics of the songs of heterOSpecific singers.

Advertisement calls of Fejervarya multistriata (Anura: Dicroglossidae), with a review of anurans in China
You-Fu Lin,You-Fu Lin,Zhi-Qiang Chen,Zhi-Qiang Chen,Yun Tang,Yun Tang,Jing-Yi Chen,Guo-Hua Ding,Guo-Hua Ding,Zhi-Hua Lin,Xiang Ji +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that phylogenetic effects, SVL, and the water type of breeding habitats have a combined impact on the advertisement calls in anurans.

Signals, signal conditions, and the direction of evolution
TL;DR: Sensory systems, signals, signaling behavior, and habitat choice are evolutionarily coupled and should coevolve in predictable directions, determined by environmental biophysics, neurobiology, and the genetics of the suites of traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection, social competition, and speciation
TL;DR: Patterns of variation in socially selected characters demonstrate the wisdom of Darwin's distinction between natural and sexual selection, and the applicability of sexual selection theory to social competition in general.

Ecological Sources of Selection on Avian Sounds
TL;DR: In this article, sound propagation tests were made in forest, edge, and grassland habitats in Panama to quantify pure tone and random noise band sound transmission levels, and the sounds of birds in each habitat were analyzed to determine the emphasized frequency, frequency range, and sound type (whether pure tonelike or highly modulated).

Evidence for Ecological Speciation and Its Alternative
TL;DR: Tests of parallel evolution of reproductive isolation, trait-based assortative mating, and reproductive isolation by active selection have demonstrated that ecological speciation is a common means by which new species arise.

Public information: from nosy neighbors to cultural evolution.
TL;DR: A large body of evidence suggests that human decision-making is strongly influenced by the behavior of others, which may then affect biological evolution.
