Iridescent structurally based coloration of eyespots correlates with mating success in the peacock (2007, background): “…evolved under intersexual selection, empirical studies reporting a possible influence of structural color on mate choice are still scarce and most of them are limited to cases in which substantial ultraviolet reflectance is present (reviewed in Siefferman and Hill 2003; Bennett and Théry 2007).”
The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: How animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not (2020, background): “Variation in colour-vision capacities are widespread across frugivores, from tetrachromatic birds (Bennett & Théry, 2007), through some primates with trichromatic colour vision similar to our own, and to fully or partially colour blind primates and other mammals (Jacobs, 2009).”
