Phenotypic integration expressed by carotenoid-bearing plumages of tanager-finches (Thraupini, Emberizinae) across the avian visible spectrum

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Descriptions of realized variations, correlations, and covariations among physical attributes (phenotypic integration) provide a useful framework for understanding evolutionary pathways and the generation of diversity. The ability of many birds to see near-ultraviolet (UV) light, which is invisible to normal humans, has focused attention on special properties of 'hidden' UV plumage signals. Little is known, howeve...
