Journal ArticleDOI
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
On the measurement and classification of colour in studies of animal colour patterns
TL;DR: New methods make it practical to measure the colour spectrum of pattern elements (patches) of animals and their visual backgrounds for the conditions under which patch spectra reach the conspecific's, predator's or prey's eyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receiver psychology and the evolution of animal signals
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that an important but neglected evolutionary force on signal design is the psychology of the signal receiver, and that three aspects of receiver psychology (what a receiver finds easy to detect, easy to discriminate and easy to remember) constitute powerful selective forces in signal design.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and nature of colour vision among the mammals.
TL;DR: This review has evaluated the proposition that relatively few mammalian species have a capacity for colour vision in mammals in the light of recent research on colour vision and its mechanisms in mammals and concluded that the baseline mammalian colour vision is argued to be dichromacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent sexual selection enhances reproductive isolation in sticklebacks.
TL;DR: It is shown that female perceptual sensitivity to red light varies with the extent of redshift in the light environment, and contributes to divergent preferences in threespine sticklebacks, demonstrating that divergent sexual selection generated by sensory drive contributes to speciation.
