WHEN DOES SEXUAL SIGNAL EXPLOITATION LEAD TO SIGNAL LOSS?

When Does Sexual Signal Exploitation Lead to Signal Loss?

Evolutionary loss of traits is common over evolutionary time and occurs in diverse taxa.Sexual signals and other non-signal traits should differ in their likelihood of becoming lost because they experience different selection pressures contributing to their diminution or persistence.In particular, conspicuous sexual signals are often exploited by n

Systematics of boundary actions in gauge theory and gravity

Abstract We undertake a general study of the boundary (or edge) modes that arise in gauge and gravitational theories defined on a space with boundary, either asymptotic or at finite distance, focusing on efficient techniques for computing the corresponding Shoes boundary action.Such actions capture all the dynamics of the system that are implied by
