Individual quality and carotenoid-based plumage ornaments in male red bishops (Euplectes orix): plumage is not all that counts
Males in many bird species develop elaborate carotenoid-based plumage ornaments that play an important role as signals of individual quality in intraor intersexual selection. In the present study, we investigated which of several factors related to male condition and health affect the brightness and coloration of the carotenoid-based orange–red breeding plumage in males of the red bishop (Euple...
متن کاملWithin-male melanin-based plumage and bill elaboration in male house sparrows.
If there is a cost to producing a dark color patch, the size of a patch may not correspond with its pigment concentration. The plumage of male house sparrows represents a case of dark, melanin-based ornamentation, but also a case of neglecting the composite nature of dark signals in birds. Here, I investigated what kind of associations exist between the brightness, chroma, and hue of dark integ...
متن کاملConspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently documented red female throat coloration in some threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations. Although female sticklebacks often exhibit a preference for red male t...
متن کاملBehavioral Modification in Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm
This paper, first we describe the introduction of Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm, used for control channel encryption in Cellular Telephony scheme. Secondly why this algorithm is weak against security of cipher text being transmitted and finally how we can modify the Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm to be more secure for control data transmission.
