Abstract: Communication signals in many animal species (including humans) show a surprising amount of variety both across time and at any one instant in a population. Traditional accounts and simulation models of the evolution of communication offer little explanation of this diversity. Sexual selection of signals used to attract mates, and the coevolving preferences used to judge those signals, can instead provide a convincing mechanism. Here we demonstrate that a wide variety of "songs" can... (Update)
