• The kinds of traits involved in male—male competition: a comparison of plumage, behavior, and body size in quail (2002, background): “Like other signals, plumage ornaments appear to vary in their reliability as indicator traits (Badyaev and Hill, 2000; Hansen and Rohwer, 1986; Rohwer, 1982) and may therefore also vary in function as a social signal.”
• AVIAN SEXUAL DICHROMATISM IN RELATION TO PHYLOGENY AND ECOLOGY (2003, background): “Hill & Badyaev (Badyaev & Hill 2000, Hill 1996) suggested that because carotenoid-based plumage coloration is more dependent on environment and less constrained developmentally than is melanin-based coloration, variation in sexual dichromatism should be driven more by changes in carotenoid…”
• Agonistic carotenoid signalling in male red-collared widowbirds: aggression related to the colour signal of both the territory owner and model intruder (2001, unknown): “Carotenoid pigmentation is a major component of conspicuous coloration and sexual dichromatism in birds (Fox & Vevers 1960; Brush 1978; Bortolotti et al. 1996; Badyaev & Hill 2000 ).”
• The effect of coccidial infection on iridescent plumage coloration in wild turkeys (2005, background): “It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that colour ornaments produced by different mechanisms can serve as fundamentally different types of displays, each with a distinct signal content (e.g. Owens & Hartley 1998; Badyaev & Hill 2000).”
• Availability of nonpigmentary antioxidant affects red coloration in gulls (2008, background): “The red, orange, and yellow carotenoid-based colorations displayed by fishes and birds can be considered as good examples of honest sexual signals (e.g., Olson and Owens 1998; Badyaev and Hill 2000; Pike et al. 2007).”
• MELANIN ORNAMENTS, HONESTY, AND SEXUAL SELECTION (2003, background): “Melanin ornaments, in particular, appear to function more commonly in intrasexual competition than in mate choice (Badyaev and Hill 2000).”
• Carotenoid-based ornamentation and status signaling in the house finch (2000, unknown): “Melanin-and carotenoid-based colors in birds respond differently to environmental stress (Hill and Brawner, 1998; Mc-Graw and Hill, in press), and as a result these two signal types may have completely different information content (Badyaev and Hill, 2000; Gray, 1996).”
• Ecological and behavioral correlates of coloration in artiodactyls: systematic analyses of conventional hypotheses (2003, background): “In contrast to birds, none of the major hypotheses for coloration in mammals pertains to mate choice (see Badyaev and Hill, 2000 ).”
