- Avian eggshell coloration: new perspectives on adaptive explanations (2010, background): “…coloration is related both to cell-mediated and humoral measures of female immunocompetence (Morales, Sanz & Moreno, 2006), and supplementation of female diets at laying results in higher measures of blue–green chroma (i.e. associated with higher biliverdin levels) in eggs (Moreno et al., 2006).”
