摘要: Abstract 1. Three flamingo species, Phoenicoparrus andinus, Php. jamesi and Phoenicopterus ruber, subsisting chiefly upon plant food, elaborate major proportions of ketocarotenoids from dietary carotenes, storing principally canthaxanthin in plasma, as well feathers, wherein secondary concentrations astaxanthin a newly described ketocarotenoid, phoenicoxanthin, also occur. 2. Canthaxanthin, predominant tarsal skin both Andean Jame's is replaced by esterified that Pht. ruber. 3. The principal liver carotenoid andinus β-carotene; it 4-keto-α-carotene. 4. Echinenone occurs several tissues jamesi; fucoxanthin both; ϵ-carotene liver.
