• Ornamental plumage coloration and condition are dependent on age in eastern bluebirds Sialia sialis (2005, background): “In contrast to the extensive literature concerning female mating preferences relative to male ornamentation, fewer de- tailed studies have focused on how sexually selected traits change with age (but see Gil et al. 2001, Badyaev and Duckworth 2003).”
• Early birds are sexy: male age, dawn song and extrapair paternity in blue tits, Cyanistes (formerly Parus) caeruleus (2006, background): “In songbirds, singing behaviour may function as such a viability indicator (e.g. Gil et al. 2001 ).”
