Viability Is Associated with Melanin-Based Coloration in the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Pigmentation of body surface in animals can have multiple determinants and accomplish diverse functions. Eumelanin and pheomelanin are the main animal pigments, being responsible of yellow, brownish-red and black hues, and have partly common biosynthetic pathways. Many populations of vertebrates sho...
