Abstract

Allocation of carotenoid pigments, either through nutritional provisioning or from endogenous reserves, makes up a form of non-genetic parental investment to progeny that may contribute to fitness. To date, carotenoids derived from endogenous reserves have been acknowledged as important vectors in translating only avian female phenotype and environmental conditions experienced prior to laying. Here, we show that in columbidae, crop milk delivered by both parents may provide chicks with a large amount of endogenous carotenoids at the postzygotic stage. Major carotenoids were xanthophylls and beta-carotene, but their concentrations showed large variation among individuals. Interestingly, a large amount of this variation was explained by brood identity, suggesting either environmental influences and/or phenotypic influences on a parent's ability to transfer these biomolecules. Our study therefore illuminates a potential new route for endogenous carotenoid-mediated parental effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
