TL;DR: Data on the mortality and survivorship of several species of birds are analyzed and alternative models of age-dependent mortality are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding Activity and Color Preference of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds
TL;DR: The experimental evidence does not support the assumption that hummingbirds prefer red to other colors, and most of the statements made about color preference in hummingbirds have been based on field observations where there was no opportunity to manipulate variables that might affect feeding behavior.

Richard S. Miller,Robert W. Nero +1 more
