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).”
Carotenoid accumulation strategies for becoming a colourful House Finch: analyses of plasma and liver pigments in wild moulting birds (2006, methodology): “The hue of newly moulted breast plumage in males and rump plumage in females was also scored at this time using a hand-held Colortron II reflectance spectrophotometer (see McGraw & Hill 2000 for description and justification).”
Carotenoid status signaling in captive and wild red-collared widowbirds: independent effects of badge size and color (2002, background): “The evening before a trial, all food was removed to standardize and maximize the motivation of individuals to compete for food resources during trials (Andersson and Åhlund, 1991; Lemel and Wallin, 1993; McGraw and Hill, 2000).”
Agonistic carotenoid signalling in male red-collared widowbirds: aggression related to the colour signal of both the territory owner and model intruder (2001, unknown): “Furthermore, some recent studies that do address carotenoid signal variation, albeit in the nonbreeding season, found no or even negative effects on male dominance (Brown & Brown 1988; Belthoff et al. 1994; Wolfenbarger 1999; McGraw & Hill 2000 ).”
Social environment during molt and the expression of melanin-based plumage pigmentation in male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) (2002, background): “…correlational studies of nutritional state at the time of molt indicate that both carotenoid-(Hill and Montgomerie 1994; Hill 2000; <CitationRef and Hill 2000a) and structurally based (Keyser and Hill 1999, 2000; McGraw et al. 2002) ornamental colors are energetically and nutritionally demanding…”
Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “Examples of continuous variation include body size or shape (Leary et al. 2005; Cook & Bean 2006) or colour differences (McGraw & Hill 2000) among males.”
