Zhao et al. recently reported results which, they claim, suggest that sexual selection produces the multimodal displays seen in little torrent frogs () by co-opting limb movements that originally evolved to support parasite defense (Zhao et al., 2022). Here, we explain why we believe this conclusion to be premature.
赵等人最近报告了一些结果,他们声称这些结果表明,性选择通过利用最初进化来支持寄生虫防御的肢体运动,产生了小激流蛙()中所见的多峰展示(Zhao 等人,2022 年)。在这里,我们解释为什么我们认为这个结论为时过早。
