No support for solar radiation as a major evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.The malar stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are often hypothesised to function by reducing the amount of solar glare reflected into the falcon's eyes while hunting, thereby aiding foraging efficiency in bright conditions. This ‘solar glare hypothesis' is supported by intraspecific trends in peregrine falcons Falco peregrinus, in which populations ...
