Journal ArticleDOI
Structural absorption by barbule microstructures of super black bird of paradise feathers
TL;DR: Physical structure is known to contribute to the appearance of bird plumage through structural color and specular reflection, but a third mechanism, structural absorption, leads to low reflectance and super black color in birds of paradise feathers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive phylogeny of birds (Aves) using targeted next-generation DNA sequencing
Richard O. Prum,Richard O. Prum,Jacob S. Berv,Alex Dornburg,Alex Dornburg,Alex Dornburg,Daniel J. Field,Daniel J. Field,Jeffrey P. Townsend,Emily Moriarty Lemmon,Alan R. Lemmon +10 more
TL;DR: The results of the divergence time analyses are congruent with the palaeontological record, supporting a major radiation of crown birds in the wake of the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biology of color

TL;DR: A roadmap of technological advances and key questions for the future of animal coloration research are provided, to identify hitherto unrecognized challenges for this multi- and interdisciplinary field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, function, and self-assembly of single network gyroid (I4132) photonic crystals in butterfly wing scales
Vinodkumar Saranathan,Chinedum O. Osuji,Simon G. J. Mochrie,Heeso Noh,Suresh Narayanan,Alec Sandy,Eric R. Dufresne,Richard O. Prum +7 more
TL;DR: 3D photonic nanostructures of five butterfly species from two families are characterized to offer a convenient template for producing optical devices based on biomimicry or direct dielectric infiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Avian Plumage Color in a Tetrahedral Color Space: A Phylogenetic Analysis of New World Buntings
TL;DR: Comparative phylogenetic analyses using linear parsimony (in MacClade) and generalized least squares (GLS) models (in CONTINUOUS) with a molecular phylogeny of the group document that plumage color evolution in the clade has been very dynamic.
