Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “…whereas the relationship between circulating carotenoids and the antioxidant defence in the blood of adult birds is unclear (Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2004b; Costantini et al. 2006, 2007; Hõrak et al. 2006; Tummeleht et al. 2006; Cohen et al. 2007; but see Blount et al. 2002b; Hõrak et al. 2007).”
Melanin- versus carotenoid-based sexual signals : is the difference really so black and red? (2006, background): “Importantly, metabolic and physiological constraints and trade-offs will operate and vary among individuals and within individuals over time, for example, during moult (e.g. Pearcy & Murphy 1997) or egg production (e.g. Murphy 1994; Blount et al. 2002; Cottam et al. 2002).”
