“…Signals rapidly communicate information such as values, beliefs, and identities to others [17][18][19]. Male peacocks signal fitness with elaborate feather displays, automobile drivers signal political identities with bumper stickers, and Chicagoans signal acceptance of yearly disappointment by wearing Cubs apparel.…”

Data Availability Statement: All data and materials are publicly accessible at https://osf.io/rfgdw/. Also, we preregistered our study design and analysis plan. You can find the preregistration at https://osf.io/ipkea/.Funding: The authors received no specific funding for this work.Competing Interests: Brian Nosek created the badges to acknowledge open practices, and Brian Nosek and Mallory Kidwell are on a committee maintaining the badges. The badges and specifications for earning them are CC0 licensed with and in four comparison journals. We report an increase in reported data sharing of more than an order of magnitude from baseline in Psychological Science, as well as an increase in reported materials sharing, although to a weaker degree. Moreover, we show that reportedly available data and materials were more accessible, correct, usable, and complete when badges were earned. We demonstrate that badges are effective incentives that improve the openness, accessibility, and persistence of data and materials that underlie scientific research.

“…This holds particularly in long-range acoustic interactions, and also at close range for other means of signalling, such as visual or tactile. In these cases, individuals that are not primary addressees can extract information on di¡erences in their conspeci¢cs by observing their interactions (Otte 1974;Freeman 1987;Endler 1992;Klump & Gerhardt 1992;Naguib & Todt 1997;Oliviera et al 1998).…”

Although vocal interactions in songbirds have been well studied, little is known about the extent to which birds attend to their conspeci¢cs' interactions. Attending to others' interactions can provide valuable information since vocal interactions are often asymmetrical and can re£ect di¡erences in the state or quality of the signallers. Playback experiments with simulated dyadic interactions showed that male territorial nightingales (Luscinia megarhynchos) attend to asymmetries in interactions and respond more strongly to rivals that overlap the songs of their counterpart. In order to test if nightingales respond di¡erently to two interacting rivals that are alternating songs asymmetrically (with leader^follower roles), we simulated an interaction using a dual-speaker design. Subjects discriminated between the simulated singing strategies and responded more intensely at the loudspeaker playing the preceding songs. This suggests that individuals whose songs precede in an interaction when there is no acoustic overlap are perceived as more serious rivals. Intense responses to the preceding songs compared with intense responses to the overlapping (non-preceding) songs in a previous study also indicate that discrimination is not the result of one speci¢c proximate cue such as greater attention to the ¢rst-or last-heard stimulus. Thus, these results provide further evidence that by listening to asymmetries in conspeci¢cs' vocal interactions, receivers can obtain valuable information on their relative di¡erences.

“…In contrast, males alone (or principally) sing and call conspecific females to them in most species of the best studied animal taxa like birds (Catchpole 1982), lizards (Frankenberg 1982), frogs (Littlejohn 1977), katydids (Dumortier 1963), homopterans (Ossiannilsson 1949, Young 1980, and crickets (Walker 1962, Dumortier 1963. Such unilateral male signalling has been interpreted in most acoustical animals as indicative of sexual selection operating on the higher variance in reproductive success of males (Halliday 1978, Otte 1974, Alexander 1975. On the other hand, the unusual presence of calling behavior in both sexes of Chrysoperla species may stem from the proven importance of their vibrational signals in the reproductive isolation of closely related species.…”
