Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

This (Mortal) Christian Life: Growth in Grace and the Problem of Senescence

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Theological accounts of the Christian life attempt to describe the manner in which the Holy Spirit's communication of Christ's redemptive work engenders new ways of being in the world. Such descriptions normally entail, in one form or another, the conclusion that the Christian life is marked by progressive growth in grace, an upward spiral in ...

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

Mixed‐vertebrate pollination traits and pollinators of Haageocereus acranthus (Cactaceae) in a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
In a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru, the columnar cactus Haageocereus acranthus shows traits and interactions consistent with a mixed‐vertebrate pollination system (hummingbirds and bats), with no detectable differences between flower colour morphotypes in either traits or interactions.

Elevational patterns in plant breeding systems and pollen limitation in Afrotropical montane grasslands

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Hand‐pollination in Afromontane grasslands on Mount Cameroon showed mid‐elevation seed production peaks, summit pollen limitation and no selfing increase, indicating limited reproductive assurance. Abstract Plant reproduction along elevational gradients may be limited by insufficient pollination service, variation in selfing capacity or post ...
