- Impact of infection on mate choice (2014, background): “In the same way, coccidian infection reduced plumage coloration in infected greenfinches, Carduelis chloris, by decreasing carotenoid levels (Horak et al., 2004).”
- Blood parameters as indicators of physiological condition and skeletal development in great tits (Parus major): natural variation and application in the reproductive ecology of birds (2007, background): “A decrease in albumin concentration in the blood plasma accompanies almost all diseases and is also a strong indicator of malnutrition (e.g., Kawai 1973; Hõrak et al. 2004).”
- Parasites, testosterone and honest carotenoid-based signalling of health (2007, background): “However, to date, experimental evidence that parasites or diseases negatively influence carotenoid-based signals remains limited (e.g. coccidian parasites: Brawner, Hill & Sundermann 2000; Horak et al. 2004; hemoparasites: Horak et al. 2001; mycoplasmosis: Hill, Farmer & Beck 2004; nematodes: Martin”
