• Female American goldfinches use carotenoid-based bill coloration to signal status (2009, background): “2006) and that there is a positive link between carotenoid ornamentation and testosterone (McGraw et al. 2006).”
• Parasites, testosterone and honest carotenoid-based signalling of health (2007, background): “In zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata, for example, testosterone treatment increased beak colour, by up-regulating the production of lipoprotein that binds and transports carotenoids, thereby enhancing the pigmentation of ornaments (McGraw et al. 2006).”
