The Evolution of Sexually Selected Traits in Tetrapods
Listed in UA Campus Repository
Sexual selection is often considered a powerful evolutionary force which drives speciation and phenotypic diversity in animals, especially vertebrates and arthropods.
Description
However, large-scale evolutionary patterns of sexually selected traits are not fully understood in tetrapods. Here, we collected and analyzed data on the evolution of sexually selected traits in tetrapods.
We found that visual is the most common sensory modality of sexually selected traits. Female choice is the most common mechanism, although male contest competition is more common when the sampling of tetrapod families is proportional to species richness. We found evidence for correlated evolution between different sexually selected trait modalities.

Finally, we found that high phylogenetic signal is present in visual and tactile traits.
