An Intracellular Antioxidant Determines the Expression of a Melanin-Based Signal in a Bird
To understand how traits used in animal communication evolved and are maintained as honest signals, we need to understand the mechanisms that prevent cheating. It has been proposed that honest signaling is guaranteed by the costs associated with the signal expression. However, the nature of these co...
