• The antioxidant function of many animal pigments: are there consistent health benefits of sexually selected colourants? (2005, background): “…which orange sulphur butterflies, Colias eurytheme (Watt 1964), guppies, Poecilia reticulata (Grether et al. 2001) and green anoles, Anolis sp. (Ortiz et al. 1962; Macedonia et al. 2000), as well as many other insects, fish, amphibians and reptiles incorporate into their sexual colour displays.”
• Habitat light, colour variation, and ultraviolet reflectance in the Grand Cayman anole, Anolis conspersus (2001, background): “Curiunique to A. conspersus in the grahami series anoles ously, island-wide observations of A. conspersus made (Macedonia et al., 2000).”
• Carotenoid-based signals in behavioural ecology : a review (2011, background): “Carotenoid-based ornaments account for some of the most spectacular visual signals found in the animal kingdom, from the fiery red beaks of zebra finches (e.g., Collins & ten Cate, 1996) to the colourful dewlaps of anolis lizards (e.g., Macedonia et al., 2000).”
• Red fish, blue fish: trade-offs between pigmentation and immunity in Betta splendens (2007, background): “We found that coloration in B. splendens is underlain by both carotenoids and pteridines, as is true for many other red or orange color patches in fish (Henze et al. 1977) and lizards (Macedonia et al. 2000).”
• Multimodal signalling: structural ultraviolet reflectance predicts male mating success better than pheromones in the butterfly Colias eurytheme L. (Pieridae) (2007, background): “Structural reflectance is widespread among animals (e.g. Brunton 1998; Macedonia et al. 2000; Kodric-Brown & Johnson 2002; Eaton & Lanyon 2003; Parker et al. 2003; Sweeney et al. 2003; Vukusic et al. 2004; Kemp et al. 2005) and has been implicated in female mate choice decisions in birds and fish…”
