Dietary carotenoids are unstable & used when ornament production (molt) is just before display. Modified carotenoids are more stable and used when production is months before display. Nice complement to https://t.co/01iBo5tNvB #carotenoid https://t.
If cats are largely scent driven, what kind of bacterial metabolite would signal fertility and health among mating populations? https://t.co/oOdVtM6FTB

@mchapiro In birds, the color red is often only possible if there is an excess of healthy mitochondria, it acts as a signal of underlying health. I suspect that scent might operate under similar principles. https://t.co/US1Bpg0nUN We are one of the best a

@GailPatricelli @Geoffrey_E_Hill @Wendy_R_Hood One important caveat is that many yellow pigments actually are metabolically converted from dietary to ornamental types in birds with yellow coloration... @ryanjweaver_ has a cool meta-analysis related to it!

@keomland @brown_birds @NickSlyBirdGuy 1) Do we know that both carotenoids and eumelanin are deposited in "black" feathers in WT orioles? 2) I agree. If the carotenoids are "wasted" under black feathers, it makes sense if they are mostly dietary. Have you

@mrMattSimon Nice piece on the super-black feathers of birds of paradise! Did you see our recent paper about carotenoids and signalling in bird feathers that came out in @NatureComms ? Here is the link: https://t.co/b7teQ4QAmx
The *metabolism* of carotenoids makes them an honest signal of fitness in birds; dietary ingestion is not sufficient. Interesting new meta-analysis in @NatureComms https://t.co/ofJOye1BMU https://t.co/bmjhO04Y9r

My doctoral student Ryan @rjwcarotenoids is lead on a new meta-analysis https://t.co/MHaHSEADig that provides compelling evidence that carotenoid metabolism makes color signals more tightly linked to condition.
