Body size and climate as predictors of plumage colouration and sexual dichromatism in parrots
Lager parrots have more elaborated colours and lower levels of sexual dichromatism, whilst smaller parrots are less colourful but show higher levels of sexual dichromatism. Resource competition, mutual mate choice, social selection, predation risk, sexual selection on males and extra‐pair paternity are the possible processes that led to the varying ...
