Dominance and plumage traits: meta-analysis and metaregression analysis (2011, background): “In comparison, in red-collared widowbirds, Euplectes ardens, the intensity of the collar of models affects how aggressively territory owners react (Pryke et al. 2001).”
Carotenoid status signaling in captive and wild red-collared widowbirds: independent effects of badge size and color (2002, background): “... were painted onto the lower throat of males corresponding to the average size of red-collared widowbird collars (mean SD 210.1 mm2 59.4, n 125; collar treatments 208.3 mm2 4.7, n 192), whereas small and large collars were painted to correspond to the lower (82 mm, n 125; collar treatments 85.3 m”
Armaments and ornaments in the rock sparrow: a possible dual utility of a carotenoid-based feather signal (2006, methodology): “Once the dummy was positioned near the feeder, the male was placed in the cage, and after some minutes, the observer gently turned the dummy male approximately 10° from its original orientation in each direction for 1 min to simulate a live bird (see Pryke et al. 2001b for a similar experimental d”
Carotenoid-based status signalling in red-shouldered widowbirds (Euplectes axillaris): epaulet size and redness affect captive and territorial competition (2003, background): “Here the red signal appears to function as an agonistic signal similar to that of red-collared widowbirds, where only males with the largest and reddest collars establish territories (Andersson et al. 2002; Pryke et al. 2002), and receive fewer aggressive intrusions and interactions than smaller and”
Carotenoid-based epaulettes reveal male competitive ability: experiments with resident and floater red-shouldered widowbirds (2003, background): “These experiments suggest that the carotenoid-based epaulettes, like the red chest patch in the related red-collared widowbird, E. ardens ( Pryke et al. 2001a, 2002 ), function in male competition for territories and in settling contests.”
Multiple sexual ornaments in satin bowerbirds: ultraviolet plumage and bowers signal different aspects of male quality (2003, background): “…be more accurately attributed to Fisherian arbitrary selection (Fisher, 1958; Møller and Pomiankowski, 1993; Pomian-kowski and Iwasa, 1993), signal ampliﬁcation (Hasson, 1989), enhanced signal detection (Rowe, 1999), or to distinct signals intended for different receivers (Pryke et al., 2001a,b).”
Structural and melanin coloration indicate parental effort and reproductive success in male eastern bluebirds (2003, background): “In a few species carotenoid displays signal dominance, and melanin color is used in mate choice (Moller, 1987a; Pryke et al., 2001).”

Tactical allocation of effort among multiple signals in sage grouse: an experiment with a robotic female (2010, background): “Display behaviors may also incur costs by inciting aggression from neighboring territory holders (Westcott 1997; Pryke et al. 2001) or by increasing the risk of predation via increased conspicuousness, reduced vigilance or reduced ability to escape (Endler 1987; Cooper 1999; Koga et al.”
UV-blue structural coloration and competition for nestboxes in male eastern bluebirds (2005, unknown): “…status in many species of birds, all previous studies of plumage colour and dominance have focused on coloration produced from pigments deposited in feathers, with more studies of melanin coloration (see Senar 1999 for review) than carotenoid coloration (McGraw & Hill 2000a, b; Pryke et al. 2001).”
Female American goldfinches use carotenoid-based bill coloration to signal status (2009, background): “Among birds, there are only a few known examples of such signals, most of which have been found in males (Pryke et al. 2001; Pryke and Andersson 2003; Pryke and Griffith 2006; Griggio et al. 2007; see Murphy et al. 2009 and Crowley and Magrath 2004 for examples in females).”
