• Assessing the function of house sparrows' bib size using a flexible meta-analysis method (2007, methodology): “The use of the R function lme with REML achieves an equivalent of this process simultaneously, providing a mean effect size estimate as the intercept of an LMM (see Pinheiro and Bates 2000 ).”
• Testosterone and melanin-based black plumage coloration: a comparative study (2008, background): “…up to now barely found any effect of nutrition or endoparasitism on melanization (Hill and Brawner 1998; McGraw and Hill 2000; McGraw et al. 2002; Poston et al. 2005), whereas resistance to ectoparasites was shown to be related to melanin-based coloration in some species (Roulin et al. 2001;…”
• Dietary mineral content influences the expression of melanin-based ornamental coloration (2007, unknown): “Under some conditions, amino acid availability can also influence melanin colors and patterns (Grau et al. 1989; Yu et al. 2001; Poston et al. 2005), although it has not yet been demonstrated to alter relevant signaling variation in an avian melanic trait.”
• Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “…affect both cell-mediated immunity (measured as skin swelling after PHA injection; Birkhead et al. 1999; Gonzalez et al. 1999a; Bourgeon et al. 2006; but see Hõrak et al. 2000; Smith et al. 2007) and humoral immunity (Kidd 2004; Bourgeon et al. 2006; Smith et al. 2007; but see Poston et al. 2005).”
