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)
