..., and be interpreted as to elicit a behavioural response in the intended receiver (Parten and Marler, 2005). In this context, the selective pressures on signal evolution are both efficacy-driven and content-driven ( Guilford and Dawkins, 1991 ; Hebets and Papaj, 2005 ). As described in the Introduction, polarization...

... selection pressures on the same trait are not always mediated through the same sensory modalities. These data are important when considering the role of environmental fluctuations on signal evolution as different sensory modalities will be differentially affected.
