A Phylogenetic Perspective on the Evolution of Sexual Dichromatism in Tanagers (Thraupidae): The Role of Female versus Male Plumage

The evolution of sexual dichromatism in tanagers (family Thraupidae) was studied from a phylogenetic perspective using a molecular-based phylogeny. Mapping patterns of sexual dimorphism in plumage onto the phylogeny reveals that changes in female plumage occur more frequently than changes in male pl...
