Convergence as an evolutionary trade-off in the evolution of acoustic signals : Echolocation in Horseshoe bats as a case study

Jacobs, David S.; Mutumi, Gregory L.; Tinyiko, Maluleke; Webala, Paul W. (Springer link, 2016-09-21)

The evolution of novel acoustic signals that are optimal for a particular function or habitat may restrict distinct lineages to the same ecological niche resulting in convergence of phenotypic traits. Such convergence could ...
Testing the Sensory Drive Hypothesis: Geographic variation in echolocation frequencies of Geoffroy’s horseshoe bat (Rhinolophidae: Rhinolophus clivosus)

Jacobs, David S.; Catto, Sarah; Mutumi, Gregory L; Finger, Nikita; Webala, Paul W (2017)

Geographic variation in sensory traits is usually influenced by adaptive processes because these traits are involved in crucial life-history aspects including orientation, communication, lineage recognition and mate choice. ...
