• Review: an embryo's eye view of avian eggshell pigmentation (2011, background): “Interestingly, the wavelength of greatest stimulation lies within the region of least absorbance and highest reflectance reported for the blue-green eggshell pigment biliverdin (Falchuk et al. 2002, Siefferman et al. 2006).”
• Experimental evidence that egg color indicates female condition at laying in a songbird (2006, methodology): “Siefferman et al. (2006) have also found in a correlative study that females in better condition lay more blue-green eggs in the eastern bluebird.”
