- Male preference for female foot colour in the socially monogamous blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii (2005, background): “Many bird species have ultraviolet (UV) vision and increasing evidence suggests that UV colour is an important component of a signalling system for mate choice (e.g. Andersson & Amundsen 1997; Siitari et al. 2002).”
- Ultraviolet vision and foraging in terrestrial vertebrates (2002, background): “Several studies in both the laboratory and field suggest that UV wavelengths are used in mate choice and social signalling (Alberts 1989, Fleishman et al. 1993, Maier 1993, Finger and Burkhardt 1994, Bennett et al. 1996, 1997, Andersson and Amundsen 1997, Andersson et al. 1998, Johnsen et al. 1998, ”
- Male sexual attractiveness and parental effort in blue tits: A test of the differential allocation hypothesis (2005, background): “The nontoxic silicon paste had no obvious effect on male behaviour and no long-lasting effect on plumage (K. Delhey, A. Peters, A. Johnsen & B. Kempenaers, unpublished data; see also Siitari et al. 2002 ).”
- Comparing plumage colour measurements obtained directly from live birds and from collected feathers: the case of the great tit Parus major (2006, methodology): “…enough tool to determine plumage coloration in this range of spectrum (300 400 nm; Andersson et al. 1998, Cuthill et al. 1999, Hunt et al. 1999, Siitari et al. 2002, Doucet and Montgomerie 2003a, Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2004), although it has also been used in the visible range (400 700 nm;…”
- Ultraviolet reflectance affects male-male interactions in the blue tit (Parus caeruleus ultramarinus) (2004, unknown): “Mate choice experiments with captive birds showed that females prefer males with higher UV plumage reflectance (Andersson and Amundsen, 1997; Bennett et al., 1996, 1997; Hunt et al., 1999; Pearn et al., 2001; Siitari et al., 2002 ).”
- UV-blue structural coloration and competition for nestboxes in male eastern bluebirds (2005, unknown): “…for structural plumage traits in some species ( Luscinia svecica : Andersson & Amundsen 1997; Johnsen et al. 1998; Sturnus vulgaris : Bennett et al. 1997; Parus caeruleus : Andersson et al. 1998; Hunt et al. 1998; Sheldon et al. 1999; Delhey et al. 2003; Ficedula hypoleuca : Siitari et al. 2002).”
- Achromatic plumage reflectance predicts reproductive success in male black-capped chickadees (2005, background): “We chose to focus on UV-chroma because, in other achromatically-colored species, UV reflectance has been shown to be important both in mate choice (Bennett et al., 1996; Siitari et al., 2002) and as a quality indicator (Siitari and Huhta, 2002).”
- Achromatic color variation in black-capped chickadees, Poecile atricapilla: black and white signals of sex and rank (2003, background): “Despite interest in the signal function of achromatic plumage patches (see above-mentioned studies and Siitari et al. 2002 ), the variation in reflectance within these patches has been largely overlooked.”
- A dynamic trait affects continuous pair assessment in the blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii (2003, background): “Many bird species have ultraviolet-sensitive retinal cones and there is increasing evidence that ultraviolet (UV) colour displayed in plumage is important for male attractiveness and possibly for mating success (e.g. Bennett et al. 1996; Andersson and Amundsen 1997; Johnsen et al. 1998; Siitari et a”
