Plumage brightness predicts male mating success in the lekking golden-collared manakin, Manacus vitellinus (2006, background): “Bright and colorful signals in lekking species are assumed to be important in mate choice or male-male competition and, hence, are under intense sexual selection (e.g., Darwin, 1871; Endler and Théry, 1996; Heindl and Winkler, 2003; Uy and Endler, 2004).”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “Additional work on this species suggests that the use of light by displaying males enhances their short-range detectability (mainly to females) without much increase in long-range detectability to predators (Endler & Th ery, 1996; see also Heindl & Winkler, 2003).”
The role of chromatic and achromatic signals for fruit detection by birds (2006, background): “Of particular relevance, color signals may be conspicuous at close range and cryptic when viewed from a distance (Endler and Thery 1996; Marshall 2000; Heindl and Winkler 2003).”
Camouflage and colour change: antipredator responses to bird and snake predators across multiple populations in a dwarf chameleon (2006, methodology): “and background, respectively, integrated over 320‐ 700 nm. To calculate chromatic contrast, all radiance spectra of the chameleons and backgrounds were standardized for brightness (area under the curve 320‐ 700 nm = 1). Chromatic contrast was then calculated as the Euclidean distance ( D s ) between”
