1.
Sharpe C, Ruxton G
Ecol Evol
. 2025 Mar;
15(3):e71081.
PMID: 40083737
Ballistic seed dispersal (ballochory) involves the autonomous explosive release of seeds from adult plants. The unconventional mechanics of this strategy have understandably drawn considerable scientific attention. The explosive release of...

Hackett S, Ruxton G, Schaefer H
J Evol Biol
. 2016 Mar;
29(6):1131-41.
PMID: 26935144
Signals and cues are extensively used in social interactions across diverse communication systems. Here, we extend an existing theoretical framework to explore investment by emitters and perceivers in the fidelity...

Beauchamp G, Ruxton G
J Theor Biol
. 2015 Dec;
390:86-96.
PMID: 26656187
Many prey species alternate between bouts of foraging and bouts of antipredator vigilance. Models of vigilance typically predict how much total time prey animals should allocate to vigilance but do...

Hackett S, Schaefer H, Ruxton G
J Evol Biol
. 2014 Jun;
27(9):1797-810.
PMID: 24948112
The handicap principle has been the overarching framework to explain the evolution and maintenance of communication. Yet, it is becoming apparent that strategic costs of signalling are not the only...

Broom M, Ruxton G
J Theor Biol
. 2013 Feb;
323:69-75.
PMID: 23399595
A key question in the development of understanding of animal communication has been what maintains the honesty of signals, stopping dishonesty (cheating) from spreading. The dominant theory used to address...

Schaefer H, Ruxton G
J Evol Biol
. 2012 Nov;
25(12):2412-21.
PMID: 23116421
Although communication underpins many biological processes, its function and basic definition remain contentious. In particular, researchers have debated whether information should be an integral part of a definition of communication...

Broom M, Hughes R, Burrows M, Ruxton G
J Theor Biol
. 2012 Jun;
309:96-102.
PMID: 22721995
Factors influencing allocation of resources to male and female offspring continue to be of great interest to evolutionary biologists. A simultaneous hermaphrodite is capable of functioning in both male and...

Daly D, Higginson A, Chen D, Ruxton G, Speed M
Ecol Lett
. 2012 Apr;
15(6):576-83.
PMID: 22487271
A central explanation for group living across animal taxa is the reduced rate of attack by predators. However, many field observations show a weak or non-existent effect of group size...

Ruxton G, Schaefer H
J Evol Biol
. 2011 Sep;
24(12):2574-85.
PMID: 21902751
Communication is central to most interactions between organisms. There is currently considerable controversy about the evolution, function and even about the most basic definition of communication. The controversy is linked...

Ruxton G, Schaefer H
J Evol Biol
. 2011 Apr;
22(5):1133-6.
PMID: 21465682
A recent article presents a study of pollinator visitation behaviour that is used to evaluate the selective pressure that pollinator visitation rate might have on the timing of the production...
