Deep‐time convergent evolution in animal communication presented by shared adaptations for coping with noise in lizards and other animals Open
Convergence in communication appears rare compared with other forms of adaptation. This is puzzling, given communication is acutely dependent on the environment and expected to converge in form when animals communicate in similar habitats.…
Do colour morphs of wall lizards express different personalities? Open
Colour morphs sometimes have different behavioural strategies which may be maintained by frequency or density dependence mechanisms. We investigated temporal changes in behavioural reaction to a novel environment among colour morphs (yello…
Aggressive spiders make the wrong decision in a difficult task Open
Aggressive individuals are predicted to make fast but error-prone decisions. However, this relationship does not always hold true. When it comes to decision-making in a specialized spider-eating jumping spider Portia labiata, we found that…
Data from: Aggressive spiders make the wrong decision in a difficult task Open
Accurate and timely decisions are critical for foraging, predator avoidance, and reproductive success. However, there is often a trade-off between speed and accuracy in decision-making, where individuals that make decisions more quickly ma…
Gliding lizards use the position of the sun to enhance social display Open
Effective communication requires animal signals to be readily detected by receivers in the environments in which they are typically given. Certain light conditions enhance the visibility of colour signals and these conditions can vary depe…
Ornament size and colour as alternative strategies for effective communication in gliding lizards Open
Sexual ornamentation needs to be conspicuous to be effective in attracting potential mates and defending territories and indeed, a multitude of ways exists to achieve this. Two principal mechanisms for increasing conspicuousness are to inc…
