Optimization of resource allocation can explain the temporal dynamics and honesty of sexual signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In species in which males are free to dynamically alter their allocation to sexual signaling over the breeding season, the optimal investment in signaling should depend on both a male’s state and the level of competition he faces at any given time.

Mate choice for a male carotenoid-based ornament is linked to female dietary carotenoid intake and accumulation

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The coevolution of male traits and female mate preferences has led to the elaboration and diversification of sexually selected traits; however the mechanisms that mediate trait-preference coevolution are largely unknown. Carotenoid acquisition

Understanding/unravelling carotenoid excited singlet states. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Carotenoids are essential light-harvesting pigments in natural photosynthesis. They absorb in the blue–green region of the solar spectrum and transfer the absorbed energy to (bacterio-)chlorophylls, and thus expand the wavelength range of light that is ...
