Behavioral ecology, endocrinology and signal reliability of electric communication.
The balance between the costs and benefits of conspicuous animal communication signals ensures that signal expression relates to the quality of the bearer. Signal plasticity enables males to enhance conspicuous signals to impress mates and competitors and to reduce signal expression to lower energetic and predation-related signaling costs when competition is low. While signal plasticity may ben...

15 صفحه اولThe fusion of behavioral ecology and ecology
Behavioral ecology and ecology have projects in common. Community ecology can provide behavioral ecology with the tools to ask realistic questions about the current action of natural selection. Evolutionary ecology has moved beyond asking ‘‘Why does trait x contribute to reproductive success?’’ and on to ‘‘What are the conditions under which trait x contributes to reproductive success?’’ We nee...
