Abstract: There is increasing evidence that melanin-based plumage colouration correlates with different components of fitness and that it may act as a social or sexual signal of individual quality. We analysed variation in melanin pigmentation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0282053
Abstract: The tail feathers of magpies are iridescent, with hues ranging from navy to violet and green. It has been previously shown that the hexagonal arrangement of melanosomes in the distal barbules is responsible for these… read more here.
