Color expression in experimentally regrown feathers of an overwintering migratory bird: implications for signaling and seasonal interactions
Abstract
Plumage coloration in birds plays a critical role in communication and can be under selection throughout the annual cycle as a sexual and social signal. However, for migratory birds, little is known about the acquisition and maintenance...
