• Parasites, testosterone and honest carotenoid-based signalling of health (2007, background): “Bortolotti, Fernie & Smits 2003; Faivre et al. 2003) and can also provide a useful indicator of current health.”
• Exposure and effects assessment of persistent organohalogen contaminants in arctic wildlife and fish. (2010, background): “Bortolotti et al. (2003a) showed experimentally that PCB dosing in American kestrels disrupted both color expressions and plasma carotenoid levels; that is, the breeding PCB-exposed birds became duller in plumage relative to the controls.”
