Melanin and carotenoid ornaments are related to individual condition in free-living grey partridges (Perdix perdix)
Original language description
We found that males expressing extensive melanin-pigmented breast ornaments developed stronger skin inflammation after PHA stimulation than males with limited ornaments, suggesting that these are high quality individuals that are able to mount a robust immune response. Furthermore, we found that the UV signal of the carotenoid-pigmented eye-patch ornament is negatively related to the absolute immature erythrocyte count and the peripheral blood heterophil / lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, indicating that males with a slow pace of life and healthier males express skin ornaments with higher UV reflectance. Ornamental coloration in grey partridge males may, therefore, serve as a reliable signal of condition (in terms of resource balance) and health to females (in terms of stress-resistance).
