Why Do Males Use Multiple Signals? Insights From Measuring Wild Male Behavior Over Lifespans
Why animals commonly use multiple conspicuous and presumably costly signals is poorly understood. Tests of evolutionary hypotheses comprehensively covering the signaling repertoire in wild populations are crucial to establish biological relevance, yet are relatively rare. We tested a key hypothesis...
