Abstract:
In this study, we explored variation in the sexual signals of two populations of male Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) by analyzing their plumage color. The red plumage color of cardinals is a result of carotenoid pigments that must be obtained from their diet. We compared rural (Rice Creek Field Station, Oswego) and urban (Barry Park, Syracuse) environments because differences in plumage color may be a result of variation in food availability in these areas.
