DESCRIPTION: Courtship displays\, driven by sexual selection\, are fascinat
 ing behaviors across a wide range of animal taxa. Birds\, in particular\, 
 serve as excellent study models due to their often multimodal sexual exhib
 itions\, which involve various sensory modalities such as coloration\, bod
 y movements\, and vocalizations. In this lecture\, I will share insights f
 rom my research on Neotropical bird species. My work has focused on the me
 chanisms behind the production of these multimodal displays and their impa
 ct on female choice. I will explore key aspects such as intra- and interin
 dividual variability in display performance\, vigor\, and skill\, which ha
 ve been central to my projects. I will specially discuss my studies on the
  Swallow-tailed Manakin\, native to the Atlantic Forest and particularly n
 otable for its cooperative cartwheel-like dance involving multiple males. 
 I look forward to sharing these findings and discussing their implications
  for the study of animal behavior and evolutionary biology.\nVortragende(r
