Variation in the extent of sexual dimorphism among bird species is traditionally attributed to
differences in social mating system. However, there are many different forms of dimorphism …

The world in color presents a dazzling dimension of phenotypic variation. Biological interest
in this variation has burgeoned, due to both increased means for quantifying spectral …

Publisher Summary Birds can see ultraviolet (UV) light because, unlike humans, their lenses
and other ocular media transmit UV, and they possess a class of photoreceptor, which is …

In animals, iridescence is generated by the interaction of light with biological tissues that are
nanostructured to produce thin films or diffraction gratings. Uniquely among animal visual …
