| 英文摘要 | Conspicuous color displays in animals are often studied in the context of how they communicate an individual's reproductive value, ability to escape capture, or overall health. The study of sexual dichromatism often focuses on the evolution of male display traits balanced between detectability and mate acquisition, representing constraints stemming from both natural and sexual selection. Melanistic coloration and melanin color patterns play important roles in both intraspecific and interspecific signaling in animals; as melanin serves multiple purposes in organismal biology, the evolution of melanin-based visual displays might not be restricted to a single behavioral or ecological context. Here, we examine the behavioral contexts of the conspicuous melanin-based tail display in the greater earless lizard (Cophosaurus texanus), asking if this melanized tail pattern is associated with (a) female association preference of males varying in the concentration of melanin, (b) individual locomotor performance capacity, and (c) thermal ecology. We found the amount of tail melanin is linked with both locomotor performance and female association preference, with greater concentrations of melanin predicting the evolution of faster performance capacities and females preferring males with more discrete melanin bars. We found limited support that differences in melanin are linked with thermoregulation or thermal ecology. Overall, we find that multiple behavioral contexts shape the evolution of this melanized display trait. We conclude that behavioral constraints stemming from both natural and sexual selection can interact synergistically to favor the evolution and expression of a melanistic visual display, even in potentially costly ecological contexts. |
