  1. ncbi Variable visual habitats may influence the spread of colourful plumage across an avian hybrid zone
    J A C Uy
    Department of Biology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244, USA
    J Evol Biol 20:1847-58. 2007
    ..These results suggest a mechanism for the unidirectional spread of yellow plumage across the hybrid zone but slowed movement beyond it...
  2. ncbi Plumage and song differences mediate species recognition between incipient flycatcher species of the Solomon Islands
    J Albert C Uy
    Department of Biology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13244, USA
    Evolution 63:153-64. 2009
    ..These results indicate that differences in plumage and song are used in homotypic recognition, suggesting the importance of multimodal signal divergence in the evolution of premating reproductive isolation...
  3. ncbi Difference in plumage color used in species recognition between incipient species is linked to a single amino acid substitution in the melanocortin-1 receptor
    J Albert C Uy
    Department of Biology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13244, USA
    Am Nat 174:244-54. 2009
    ..Assuming that the signals used in species recognition are also used in mutual mate choice, our results indicate that a single amino acid substitution contributes to speciation...
  4. ncbi Interaction between female mating preferences and predation may explain the maintenance of rare males in the pentamorphic fish Poecilia parae
    Jorge L Hurtado-Gonzales
    Department of Biology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244, USA
    J Evol Biol 23:1293-301. 2010
    ..The trade-off between sexual and natural selection, accompanied by variation in female mating preferences, may therefore facilitate the maintenance of the striking colour polymorphism in P. parae...
