Ecological drivers of song evolution in birds: Disentangling the effects of habitat and morphology
Open accessAbstract
Environmental differences influence the evolutionary divergence of mating signals through selection acting either directly on signal transmission ("sensory drive") or because morphological adaptation to different foraging niches causes divergence in "magic traits" associated with signal production, thus indirectly driving signal evolution. Sensory drive and magic traits both contribute to variation in signal structure, yet we have limited understanding of the relative role of these direct and indirect processes during signal evolution. Using phylogenetic analyses across 276 species of ovenbirds (Aves: Furnariidae), we compared the extent to which song evolution was related to the direct influence of habitat characteristics and the indirect effect of body size and beak size, two potential magic traits in birds. We find that indirect ecological selection, via diversification in putative magic traits, explains variation in temporal, spectral, and performance features of song. Body size influences song frequency, whereas beak size limits temporal and performance components of song. In comparison, direct ecological selection has weaker and more limited effects on song structure. Our results illustrate the importance of considering multiple deterministic processes in the evolution of mating signals.

Selection on ecological traits that are correlated with acoustic features (e.g. body size) can shape the extent of variation in the acoustic output of ecological communities.
“Moreover, selection on ecological traits that are correlated with acoustic features (e.g. body size) can also shape the extent of variation in the acoustic output of ecological communities”
From Acoustic indices as proxies for biodiversity: a meta‐analysis (2022) · cites this paper as Derryberry et al., 2018
The Discussion (Magic traits) says that body and beak size correlate with variation in ovenbird songs and that diversification in body size is expected to diversify spectral song features. The paper studies song evolution across ovenbird species, however, not the extent of acoustic variation within ecological communities; that community-level extension is not established by the cited evidence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
