Flexibility in extended phenotype sexual signals in great bowerbirds, Chlamydera nuchalis
… Some individuals signal their quality via an extended phenotype display (an expression of their quality separate from their body). Signallers must adapt their sexual signals following disruption to maintain effective signal transmission, and males that signal via extended phenotype displays …

Costs and benefits of an extended phenotype: Chambers made by Manduca sexta larvae
Extended phenotypes can serve interesting physiological functions and their externality provides ready opportunity to manipulate and examine their functions and costs. One such set of extended phenotypes are below-ground pupation chambers made by a wide range of insects and whose function is …

Assessing the drivers of adaptive radiation in a complex of gall midges: A multitrophic perspective on ecological speciation
… system. Overall, I find strong evidence that the extended phenotype of these gall midges (i.e., the gall) is experiencing stabilizing, directional, and diversifying selection imposed by natural enemies. I also find that natural enemies appear to be driving divergence in an ovipositional phenotype …

From Genes to Traits and Ecosystems: Evolutionary Ecology of <i>Sphagnum</i> (Peat Moss)
… and the functional traits underlying this extended phenotype. Interspecific functional trait variation is hypothesized to promote niche differentiation through the creation and maintenance of ecological gradients along which species sort within communities. One prominent gradient relates to …
