Covariation between eumelanic pigmentation and body mass only under specific conditions.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Mar 2009

Roulin Alexandre

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the factors that mediate covariation between an ornament and other phenotypic attributes is important to determine the signaling function of ornaments. Sign and magnitude of a covariation may vary across environments if the expression of the ornament or of its linked genes regulating correlated phenotypes is condition-dependent. I investigated in the barn owl Tyto alba whether sign and magnitude of...
