• Corticosterone: effects on feather quality and deposition into feathers (2015, unknown): “…birds showed an abrupt change in feather structure and colour and a lighter weight of these parts, confirming earlier studies which showed that CORT administration as well as increased endogenous CORT during feather growth impair feather quality (Roulin et al. 2008; DesRochers et al. 2009).”
• Melanin-based colorations signal strategies to cope with poor and rich environments (2008, background): “Ventral plumage coloration of barn owls varies continuously from reddish-brown (i.e., phaeomelanic; Roulin et al. 2007) to white (i.”
