Boy, tell me your favorite song: early mating signal divergence in treehopper evolution

<p>Read about “The Means of Signal Divergence Early in a Host Shift” by Rafael L. Rodríguez, Thomas K. Wood, Frank W. Stearns, Robert L. Snyder, Kelley J. Tilmon, Michael S. Cast, Randy E. Hunt, and Reginald B. Cocroft (August 2025)</p><br/><br/><p><b>How do mating signals diverge early in speciation? Experimental host shifts with Enchenopa treehoppers resulted in subtle but non-trivial signal divergence in a few generations. This was fueled by standing genetic variation and plasticity, and unrelated to host specialization</b></p><br/>
