Female throat ornamentation does not reflect cell-mediated immune response in bluethroats Luscinia s. svecica.

Oecologia - 1 Dec 2005

Pärn Henrik, Lifjeld Jan T, Amundsen Trond

Abstract excerpt

The brilliantly coloured throat patch in male bluethroats, Luscinia s. svecica, influences their social mating success and both within- and extra-pair paternity. Female bluethroats are highly variable in their extent of throat coloration, from entirely drab to almost male-like. The ornament in females could be due to a genetic correlation between the sexes. However, it has been shown that male bluethroats prefer...
