Sexual selection and population divergence II. Divergence in different sexual traits and signal modalities in field crickets ( Teleogryllus oceanicus )
(Wiley, 2017-04)Sexual selection can target many different types of traits. However, the relative influence of different sexually selected traits during evolutionary divergence is poorly understood. We used the field cricket $\textit{Teleogryllus ... -
Is behavioural flexibility evidence of cognitive complexity? How evolution can inform comparative cognition
(The Royal Society, 2017-06-06)Behavioural flexibility is often treated as the gold standard of evidence for more sophisticated or complex forms of animal cognition, such as planning, metacognition and mindreading. However, the evidential link between ... -
Brain evolution and development: adaptation, allometry and constraint
(Royal Society Publishing, 2016-09-14)Phenotypic traits are products of two processes: evolution and development. But how do these processes combine to produce integrated phenotypes? Comparative studies identify consistent patterns of covariation, or allometries, ... -
Dental Eruption and Growth in Hyracoidea (Mammalia, Afrotheria)
We investigated dental homologies, development, and growth in living and fossil hyracoids, and tested if hyracoids and other mammals show correlations between eruption patterns, gestation time, and age at maturity. Unlike ...
