Abstract
⺠We performed phytohaemagglutinin test in scarlet rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus). ⺠The swelling response to PHA was dependent on basophil activity. ⺠The response was positively associated to size and mean growth bar width. ⺠The response was negatively related to carotenoid-based ornament coloration. ⺠Our data indicate stronger responsiveness in inferior males.
