Variable visual habitats may influence the spread of colourful plumage across an avian hybrid zoneJ 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...
Plumage and song differences mediate species recognition between incipient flycatcher species of the Solomon IslandsJ 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...
Difference in plumage color used in species recognition between incipient species is linked to a single amino acid substitution in the melanocortin-1 receptorJ 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...
Interaction between female mating preferences and predation may explain the maintenance of rare males in the pentamorphic fish Poecilia paraeJorge 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...
