The Role of Learning on Insect and Spider Sexual Behaviors, Sexual Trait Evolution, and Speciation
We review experimental and theoretical evidence that learning in insects and spiders affects the expression of mate preferences and of sexual signals, the evolution of both traits, and ultimately patterns of assortative mating, and speciation. Both males and females can modify their sexual preferenc...
