Group living may engender conflict over food,reproduction,or other resources and individuals must be able to manage conflict for social groups to persist.Submission signals are an adaptation for establishing and maint...
Female cichlid fish living in African great lakes are known to have sensory systems that are adapted to ambient light environments.These sen-sory system adaptations are hypothesized to have influenced the evolution of...
