• Achromatic color variation in black-capped chickadees, Poecile atricapilla: black and white signals of sex and rank (2003, background): “While sex, status, and quality signals have received considerable attention with respect to bright pigmentbased colors (Andersson 1994) and, to a lesser extent, structural blue/UV colors (e.g., Hunt et al. 1998; Keyser and Hill 2000; Doucet and Montgomerie 2003 ), very little is known about the sig”
• Complex signal function: developing a framework of testable hypotheses (2004, background): “In a study of satin bowerbirds, Ptilonorhynchus violaceus, Doucet and Montgomerie (2003) found that a male’s ultraviolet plumage coloration conveys information about his feather growth rate, body size, and level of blood parasite infection.”
• Orchestrating the score: complex multimodal courtship in the Habronattus coecatus group of Habronattus jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) (2012, background): “…and ‘dances’ of male birds-of-paradise (Frith & Beehler, 1998; Irestedt et al., 2009), the elaborate bowers used by male bowerbirds (Borgia, 1995; Doucet & Montgomerie, 2003; Frith & Frith, 2004; Endler et al., 2005), and the dance ‘struts’, vocalizations, and plumage of sage grouse males…”
• Host manipulation by parasites: a multidimensional phenomenon (2010, unknown): “A second hypothesis proposes that diff erent signals provide information about diff erent qualities (the `multiple messages’ hypothesis) (McGraw and Hill 2000, Doucet and Montgomerie 2003).”
• Achromatic plumage reflectance predicts reproductive success in male black-capped chickadees (2005, background): “…indicator models in several species, finding that plumage color correlated with various aspects of male quality, including parasite load (e.g., Doucet and Montgomerie, 2003b), viability (e.g., Sheldon et al., 1999), territory quality (e.g., Keyser and Hill, 2000), and parental effort (e.g.,…”
• Dietary mineral content influences the expression of melanin-based ornamental coloration (2007, unknown): “…less attention, but at present, the evidence suggests that they also are consistently sensitive to nutrition and health factors (e.g., Keyser and Hill 1999; Doucet 2002; McGraw et al. 2002; Doucet and Montgomerie 2003a,b; Hill et al. 2005; Siefferman and Hill 2005; Costa and Macedo 2006).”
• Multiple sexual advertisements honestly reflect health status in peacocks (Pavo cristatus) (2005, background): “Bower and plumage indicate different aspects of health, the ectoparasite load and the intensity of infection from blood parasites respectively (Doucet and Montgomerie 2003).”
