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

TL;DR: It is shown that small-sized frogs often emit calls with frequency components in the ultrasound spectrum, although it is unlikely that these high frequencies are of biological relevance for the majority of them, and it is illustrated that detection of upper harmonics depends also on recording distance because higher frequencies are attenuated more strongly.

Terrestrial Passive Acoustic Monitoring: Review and Perspectives
Larissa Sayuri Moreira Sugai,Larissa Sayuri Moreira Sugai,Thiago Sanna Freire Silva,José Wagner Ribeiro,Diego Llusia,Diego Llusia +5 more
TL;DR: Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is quickly gaining ground in ecological research, following global trends toward automated data collection and big data as mentioned in this paper, using unattended sound recording, PAM provides tools for longterm and cost-effective biodiversity monitoring.

TL;DR: It is shown that elevated levels of sexual selection are associated with more rapid phenotypic divergence between related lineages, and that this effect is restricted to male plumage traits proposed to function in mate choice and species recognition.

TL;DR: How sexual selection and natural selection are different mechanisms of evolutionary change is outlined, and it is suggested that this distinction is critical when analyzing the role of sexual selection in speciation.

TL;DR: A review of the terminology and variation of frog calls from a perspective of integrative taxonomy can be found in this paper, where the authors provide guidelines for the taxonomic interpretation of advertisement call differences in sympatric and allopatric situations.

Speciation via species interactions: the divergence of mating traits within species.
Conrad J. Hoskin,Megan Higgie +1 more
TL;DR: This work argues that RCD (and hence potentially speciation) among populations can be generated by a variety of fundamental species interactions beyond reinforcement, and unifies these interactions under one process of mating trait divergence and speciation ('RCD speciation').

TL;DR: The genomic location of quantitative trait loci underlying male song and female acoustic preference variation in the Hawaiian cricket genus Laupala is compared, revealing genetic conditions that would enable functional coordination between song and acoustic preference divergence during speciation.

Character displacement of song and morphology in African tinkerbirds
TL;DR: Evidence of character displacement in song as well as body size and bill size of 2 related African tinkerbirds are found, suggesting character displacement occurs in phenotypic traits facilitating species recognition, which has important implications for understanding the processes that lead to speciation and diversification.

TL;DR: There was no evidence, however, that the calls of these frogs have evolved to maximize habitat-specific transmission.

Acoustic signals and speciation: the roles of natural and sexual selection in the evolution of cryptic species
TL;DR: The three warblers look so similar superficially, that it was not until 30 years after White’s acute study of their different songs that they were described as different species.
