Alund M, McFarlane S, Husby A, Knape J, Part T, Sirkia P, et al.
Ecol Lett
. 2024 Dec;
27(12):e14505.
PMID: 39738984
Evolutionary adaptation occurs when individuals vary in access to fitness-relevant resources and these differences in 'material wealth' are heritable. It is typically assumed that the inheritance of material wealth reflects...

G3 (Bethesda)
. 2024 Dec;
15(2).
PMID: 39670717
Species-specific sexual traits facilitate species-assortative mating by reducing mating across species and reducing hybrid sexual attractiveness. For learned sexual traits, such as song in oscine birds, species distinctiveness can be...

Gallego-Abenza M, Kraft F, Ma L, Rajan S, Wheatcroft D
Behav Ecol
. 2024 Dec;
36(1):arae090.
PMID: 39664073
Song divergence driven by social learning has been proposed to be a key factor driving allopatric speciation in oscine birds. Songbirds often respond more to songs deriving from their local...

Rajan S, Lamers K, Both C, Wheatcroft D
Curr Biol
. 2024 May;
34(11):2535-2540.e4.
PMID: 38772360
Population differences in socially learned mating signals like oscine birdsong are particularly vulnerable to breakdown through dispersal. Despite this challenge, geographic variation in learned signals is ubiquitous. A proposed explanation...

Wheatcroft D, Bliard L, El Harouchi M, Lopez-Idiaquez D, Karkkainen T, Kraft F, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2022 Oct;
32(23):5153-5158.e5.
PMID: 36288731
Oscine birds preferentially respond to certain sounds over others from an early age, which focuses subsequent learning onto sexually relevant songs. Songs vary both across species and, due to cultural...

Genome Res
. 2020 Nov;
30(12):1727-1739.
PMID: 33144405
Changes in interacting - and -regulatory elements are important candidates for Dobzhansky-Muller hybrid incompatibilities and may contribute to hybrid dysfunction by giving rise to misexpression in hybrids. To gain insight...

J Evol Biol
. 2020 Aug;
33(10):1330-1344.
PMID: 32762053
Reproductive interference (costly interspecific sexual interactions) is well-understood to promote divergence in mating-relevant traits (i.e. reproductive character displacement: RCD), but it can also reduce population growth, eventually leading to local...

Behav Ecol
. 2020 May;
31(1):90-96.
PMID: 32372854
In response to anthropogenic noise, vertebrates express modified acoustic communication signals either through individual plasticity or local population adaptation. In contrast, how insects respond to this stressor is poorly studied....

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2019 Nov;
375(1789):20180405.
PMID: 31735156
Syntax (rules for combining words or elements) and semantics (meaning of expressions) are two pivotal features of human language, and interaction between them allows us to generate a limitless number...

. 2018 Sep;

PMID: 30205027
Explaining why individuals participate in risky group behaviors has been a long-term challenge. We experimentally studied the formation of groups of birds (mobs) that aggressively confront predators and avian nest...
