             abstract = "Animal synchrony is found in phylogenetically distant animal 
                         groups, indicating behavioral adaptations to different selective 
                         pressures and in different signaling modalities. A notable example 
                         of synchronous display is found in fiddler crabs in that males 
                         wave their single enlarged claw during courtship. They present 
                         species-specific signals, which are composed of distinctive 
                         movement signatures. Given that synchronous waving has been 
                         reported for several fiddler crab species, the display pattern 
                         could influence the ability of a given species to sufficiently 
                         adjust wave timing to allow for synchrony. In this study, we 
                         quantified the wave displays of fiddler crabs to predict their 
                         synchronous behavior. We combined this information with the groups 
                         phylogenetic relationships to trace the evolution of display 
                         synchrony in an animal taxon. We found no phylogenetic signal in 
                         interspecific variation in predicted wave synchrony, which mirrors 
                         the general nonphylogenetic pattern of synchrony across animal 
                         taxa. Interestingly, our analyses show that the phenomenon of 
                         synchronization stems from the peculiarities of display pattern, 
                         mating systems, and the complexity of microhabitats. This is the 
                         first study to combine mathematical simulations and phylogenetic 
                         comparative methods to reveal how ecological factors and the 
                         mechanics of animal signals affect the evolution of the 
                         synchronous phenomena.",
