Abstract
- The article presents a study which examines the relationship of carotenoid-based mouth coloration in nestling House Sparrows. It reveals a positive relationship between carotenoid concentration and the intensity of yellow coloration and the presence of carotenoids in rictal flanges. Furthermore, it indicates a positive association of carotenoid-based coloration with nestling mass and with plasma carotenoid concentration.
