Testosterone coordinates gene expression across different tissues to produce carotenoid-based red ornamentation
Carotenoid pigments underlie most of the red, orange, and yellow visual signals used in
mate choice in vertebrates. However, many of the underlying processes surrounding the …

Photoperiod and rainfall are associated with seasonal shifts in social structure in a songbird
Seasonally breeding animals often exhibit different social structures during non-breeding
and breeding periods that coincide with seasonal environmental variation and resource …

Sperm numbers as a paternity guard in a wild bird
Sperm competition is thought to impose strong selection on males to produce competitive
ejaculates to outcompete rival males under competitive mating conditions. Our …
