Mitochondrial function, ornamentation, and immunocompetence.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Aug 2017

Koch Rebecca E, Josefson Chloe C, Hill Geoffrey E

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms that link ornamental displays and individual condition is key to understanding the evolution and function of ornaments. Immune function is an aspect of individual quality that is often associated with the expression of ornamentation, but a general explanation for why the expression of some ornaments seems to be consistently linked to immunocompetence remains elusive. We propose that...
