Melanin-based coloration is related to parasite intensity and cellular immune response in an urban free living bird: the feral pigeon Columba livia
Published in Journal of avian biology (2011)“…Melanin-based coloration is widespread among vertebrates, but the adaptive function of this trait remains poorly known. Recently, it has been shown that…”
