Carotenoid-based ornaments predict survival in male but not female birds: a meta-analysis

Carlos Alonso‐Álvarez, Michael Briga, Judith Morales, Ana Á. Romero‐Haro

This study finds that carotenoid-based ornaments in male birds are linked to survival, but not in females, through a meta-analysis of existing data.

Sexual signal reliability in male zebra finches: Food intake explains the impact of immune activation on carotenoid-based coloration

Alejandro Cantarero, Rafael Mateo, Pablo R. Camarero…·Carlos Alonso‐Álvarez

This study investigates how immune activation affects carotenoid-based coloration in male zebra finches, finding that reduced food intake, not immune response itself, drives changes in bill redness.
