鸟类会进行动物界中最复杂的两性展示，但虽然这些通常与性互动的交配前阶段有关，但某些物种的雄性也会在交配后进行展示。在这里，我们报告说，在从雌性身上下来后，雄性Superb LyrebirdsMenura novaehollandiae会立即进行惊人的多模态展示，包括重复的咔嗒声和定型的尾巴姿势，同时向后走远离雌性。这种普遍存在的交配后展示构成了雄性绝妙琴鸟在两性互动过程中进行的第四种结构独特的多模式展示，并指出了交配后性选择在琴鸟类lek交配系统中的作用。因此，这项研究强调了鸟类复杂的求偶编排的一个额外的、很大程度上被忽视的功能背景。
Birds perform some of the most elaborate intersexual displays in the animal kingdom, but while these are typically associated with the pre‐copulation stage of sexual interactions, the males of some species also display following copulation. Here we report that immediately after dismounting from females, male Superb LyrebirdsMenura novaehollandiaeperform a striking multimodal display comprising a repetitive clicking vocalization and a stereotyped tail posture, while walking backwards away from the female. This ubiquitous postcopulatory display constitutes the fourth, structurally distinct multimodal display performed by male Superb Lyrebirds during intersexual interactions and points to a role for sexual selection after copulation in the lyrebird's lek‐like mating system. As such, this study highlights an additional and largely overlooked functional context for complex courtship choreography in birds.
