The maleness of larger angiosperm flowers

Our comparative results indicate that increasing male–male compe- tition across the spectrum of flower size is an important driver behind the evolution of sex allocation partitioning.

Variability in anuran advertisement call: A multi-level study with 15 species of monkey tree frogs (Anura: Phyllomedusidae)

A multi-level study with 15 species of monkey tree frogs.

Evolution of aerial spider webs coincided with repeated structural optimization of silk anchorages

Physical structures built by animals challenge our understanding of biological processes and inspire the development of smart materials and green architecture. It is thus indispensable to understand the drivers, constraints, and dynamics that lead to …

sensiPhy: An r-package for sensitivity analysis in phylogenetic comparative methods

Sensitivity analysis in phylogenetic comparative methods.

Background noise as a selective pressure: stream-breeding anurans call at higher frequencies

Acoustic signals are an important part in the behaviour of many species and may play a key role in speciation. However, little is known about the importance of natural selection on the evolution of such signals. Acoustics signals are the main …
