Eye morphology contributes to the ecology and evolution of the aquatic avifauna
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1262-1274, September 2024.Aquatic birds are notable among the global avifauna for living in environments exposed to large amounts of light. Here, I show that eye size strongly predicts key aspects of aquatic bird ecology, including foraging behaviour, diet, height of aerial plunge dives, and depths of underwater pursuit dives. Abstract Aquatic birds are notable among the global

A comparison of photographic and spectrometric methods to quantify the colours seen by animal eyes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 4-23, January 2024.Abstract Quantifying how colours stimulate animal eyes is an essential first step in many areas of biology, from behavioural and visual ecology to neuroethology. Although multiple methods exist, their relative accuracies remain untested, leaving researchers unsure which methods are most accurate and which might be unacceptably inaccurate.

A Molecular Phylogeny of Kingfishers (Alcedinidae) With Insights Into Early Biogeographic History [PDF]
The Auk, 2006 AbstractThe phylogeny of kingfishers was reconstructed by comparing mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences representing 38 ingroup species. Analysis of the combined data and the nuclear data alone recovered the Alcedininae as the basal lineage in the family.
