• Diet quality affects an attractive white plumage pattern in dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) (2007, background): “However, brighter white plumage has been linked to dominance, attractiveness, and mating success in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus (Doucet et al. 2005; Mennill et al. 2003; Woodcock et al. 2005), so it is reasonable to expect that tail-white brightness may also be important in juncos.”
• Plumage brightness predicts male mating success in the lekking golden-collared manakin, Manacus vitellinus (2006, methodology): “Recent technical advances have allowed for objective quantification of variation among males in the specific spectral properties of their plumage and relating this variation to individual reproductive or mating success (e.g., Andersson et al., 1998; Doucet et al., 2004; Keyser and Hill, 2000; Safr”
