| mechanism of carotenoid coloration in the brightly colored plumages of broadbills (eurylaimidae). | the plumage carotenoids of six species from five genera of broadbills (eurylaimidae) have been examined. these plumages are crimson, violet, purple-maroon, or yellow. two genera also have brilliant green plumages that are produced by a combination of structural coloration and unknown carotenoids. six different carotenoids from nine different plumage patches were identified, including two previously unknown molecules, using high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and ms/ms frag ... | 2014 | 24647990 |
