متن کاملSexual Dimorphism in Melanin Pigmentation, Feather Coloration and Its Heritability in the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Melanin is the main pigment in animal coloration and considerable variation in the concentrations of the two melanin forms (pheo- and eumlanin) in pigmented tissues exists among populations and individuals. Melanin-based coloration is receiving increasing attention particularly in socio-sexual communication contexts because the melanocortin system has been hypothesized to provide a mechanistic ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Divergence in Sexual Signals: Insights from within and among Barn Swallow Populations
A wealth of studies across diverse animal groups indicate the importance of sexual selection in shaping phenotypes within and across breeding populations. In recent decades, much research has focused on how divergent sexual selection pressures among populations may lead to speciation. For my first dissertation chapter, I performed a literature review on the causes and consequences of evolutiona...
متن کاملTemperature and Growth Studies on the Barn Swallow
FoR TnE past several years the writer has conducted a series of observations and banding studies on the Bank Swallow (Riparia r. riparia) in the Lake Okoboji region, northwestern Iowa and in the Albany and Oneida Lake regions, New York State. Although these investigations have not been terminated, they have reached a stage where similar inquiries may be profitably undertaken with some closely r...
متن کاملExpression of Multiple Sexual Signals by Fathers and Sons in the East-Mediterranean Barn Swallow: Are Advertising Strategies Heritable?
The level of expression of sexually selected traits is generally determined by genes, environment and their interaction. In species that use multiple sexual signals which may be costly to produce, investing in the expression of one sexual signal may limit the expression of the other, favoring the evolution of a strategy for resource allocation among signals. As a result, even when the expressio...
