    Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2).

    Abstract:
    Sexual selection can influence the mating system of an organism through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...
