Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

The ecological co‐dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a
mutualistic interaction: hummingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms …

The feeding mechanisms of animals constrain the spectrum of resources that they can
exploit profitably. For floral nectar eaters, both corolla depth and nectar properties have …

Plant–hummingbird interactions are considered a classic example of coevolution, a process
in which mutually dependent species influence each other's evolution. Plants depend on …

Hummingbirds have two main foraging strategies: territoriality (defending a patch of flowers)
and traplining (foraging over routine circuits of isolated patches). Species are often classified …

Hummingbirds are the most speciose group of vertebrate nectarivores and exhibit striking
bill variation in association with their floral food sources. To explicitly link comparative …

The PicoCam system is a multi‐camera photogrammetry rig used for generating high‐
resolution 3D models of animals in the field, or preserved specimens in laboratory or …

Ensuring connectivity is crucial to protect landscapes but it requires knowledge about how
animals use ecosystems throughout the year. However, animal movements remain largely …

Nectar-feeding birds employ unique mechanisms to collect minute liquid rewards hidden
within floral structures. In recent years, techniques developed to study drinking mechanisms …

Female-limited polymorphisms, where females have multiple forms but males have only
one, have been described in a variety of animals, yet are difficult to explain because …
