Physiological constraint on acrobatic courtship behavior underlies rapid sympatric speciation in bearded manakins
Physiology’s role in speciation is poorly understood. Motor systems, for example, are widely thought to shape this process because they can potentiate or constrain the evolution of key traits that help mediate speciation. Previously, we found that Neotropical manakin birds have evolved one of the fa...
