Evolution of correlated complexity in the radically different courtship signals of birds-of-paradise

R. A. Ligon, C. D. Diaz, J. L. Morano, J. Troscianko, M. Stevens, A. Moskeland, T. G. Laman, E. Scholes

The paper analyzes courtship signal complexity in birds-of-paradise to show positive correlations between visual and acoustic traits, suggesting integrated evolution of a composite courtship phenotype.
