About: Condition-dependant signaling

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Condition-dependent signaling is a component of sexual selection. Its exact definition remains elusive due to the vagueness of the terms “condition” and “signaling”. It examines which conditions favor the extravagant displays and ornaments, or signals, some organisms poses, despite their lack of evolutionary value in terms of fitness.

dbo:abstract
  • Condition-dependent signaling is a component of sexual selection. Its exact definition remains elusive due to the vagueness of the terms “condition” and “signaling”. It examines which conditions favor the extravagant displays and ornaments, or signals, some organisms poses, despite their lack of evolutionary value in terms of fitness. Condition-dependent signaling can affect individual mating tactics and depend on an individual's size, age, or other physical factors, such as a more fit individual being able to produce a stronger call than its less fit cohort. It can also impact the signaling choices of organisms based on the environment around them, like vocalizations that are more favorable in lower density environments. (en)
