Wild common crossbills produce redder body feathers when their wings are clipped

B. Fernandez-Eslava, A. Cantarero, D. Alonso, C. Alonso-Alvarez

The paper shows that clipped-wing male common crossbills develop redder rump feathers than controls, suggesting flight metabolism affects carotenoid conversion to red pigments.

A mitochondria-targeted antioxidant and a thyroid hormone affect carotenoid ketolase gene expression and bill redness in zebra finches

A. Cantarero, P. Andrade, M. CARNEIRO, A. MORENO-BORRALLO, C. Alonso-Alvarez

This study shows that mitochondrial antioxidants and thyroid hormones affect CYP2J19 gene expression and bill redness in zebra finches, suggesting a link between mitochondrial metabolism and carotenoid-based ornamentation.

A mitochondria-targeted antioxidant affects the carotenoid-based plumage of red crossbills

A. Cantarero, R. Mateo, P. R. Camarero Abella, D. Alonso, B. Fernandez-Eslava, C. ALONSO-ALVAREZ

The study shows that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants affect carotenoid-based plumage coloration in red crossbills, with effects dependent on initial plumage redness.
