• Quantifying iridescent coloration in animals: a method for improving repeatability (2011, methodology): “Changeable aspects of peacock (Pavo cristatus) iridescence predict female visitation and mating success (Loyau et al. 2007).”
• Structural colours create a flashing cue for sexual recognition and male quality in a Neotropical giant damselfly (2009, background): “…British Ecological Society research on colours as indicators of fitness has focused on pigments, recent studies have shown that structural colours also may signal the condition of mates or competitors (Fitzstephens & Getty 2000; Doucet & Montgomerie 2003; Siefferman & Hill 2005; Loyau et al. 2007).”
