Seasonality of carotenoid-based plumage coloration: Modelling wavelength-specific change through spectral reconstruction

Plumage coloration has provided important model systems for research on signal expression. Whilst it had previously been assumed that moulting provided the only mechanism to change plumage coloration, recent studies have shown plumage colours to be seasonally dynamic, with implications both for the...
