The environment can impose constraints on signal transmission properties
such that signals should evolve in predictable directions (Sensory Drive
Hypothesis). However, behavioral and ecological factors can limit
investment in more than one sensory modality leading to a trade-off in use
of different signals (Transfer Hypothesis). In birds, there is mixed
evidence for both sensory drive and transfer hypothesis. Few studies have
tested sensory drive while also evaluating the transfer hypothesis,
limiting understanding of the relative roles of these processes in signal
evolution. Here, we assessed both hypotheses using acoustic and visual
signals in male and female antwrens (Thamnophilidae), a species-rich group
that inhabits diverse environments and exhibits behaviors, such as
mixed-species flocking, that could limit investment in different signal
modalities. We uncovered significant effects of habitat (sensory drive)
and mixed-species flocking behavior on both sensory modalities, and we
revealed evolutionary trade-offs between song and plumage complexity,
consistent with the transfer hypothesis. We also showed sex- and
trait-specific responses in visual signals that suggest both natural and
social selection play an important role in the evolution of sexual
dimorphism. Altogether, these results support the idea that environmental
(sensory drive) and behavioral pressures (social selection) shape signal
evolution in antwrens.

Readme file containing explanation of all variables present in the dataset
of each .csv file. The following files have a correction in the name of
one vocal variable: Form_vocal_mean_f_ok.csv; Form_vocal_mean_m_ok.csv;
Form_total_female_ok.csv; Form_total_male_ok.csv; Form_total_ok.csv.
Frequency slope variable was changed to Loudsong modulation rate, a term
that better represents the obtained vocal measure.
