Evidence for the evolution of male and female cardinals’ plumage colouration being affected by both natural and sexual selection [PDF]
The evolution of sexually selected traits, such as colouration, has been the object of considerable research. Among birds, plumage colouration is highly variable and includes some of the most exuberant signals.
