Hummingbird-plant interactions in Chile: An ecological review of the available evidence
Avian Research, 2022 Hummingbird species have closely evolved with the plants they feed on, which is confirmed by their often tight ecological relationships in natural settings. Hummingbird-plant interactions are of interest for research areas such as ecology, evolution, and

Seasonal climatic niche-switching migration in the Nearctic-Neotropical Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus). [PDF]
PLoS ONEMigratory birds inhabit diverse geographic regions during their reproductive and wintering periods; however, information regarding the climatic conditions that enable migratory birds, particularly hummingbirds, to thrive in these regions is limited. This

Flowering seasonality drives taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of hummingbirds along an altitudinal gradient in northwestern Mexico. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFloral resources in the mountains of northwestern Mexico are strongly seasonal. This influences latitudinal, local, and altitudinal migration patterns in hummingbird species, resulting in temporal changes in hummingbird community structure over the ...

Implications of dominance hierarchy on hummingbird-plant interactions in a temperate forest in Northwestern Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The structuring of plant-hummingbird networks can be explained by multiple factors, including species abundance (i.e., the neutrality hypothesis), matching of bill and flower morphology, phenological overlap, phylogenetic constraints, and feeding ...

A DEEP LEARNING ARCHITECTURE FOR BATCH-MODE FULLY AUTOMATED FIELD BOUNDARY DETECTION [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 The accurate split of large areas of land into discrete fields is a crucial step for several agriculture-related remote sensing pipelines. This work aims to fully automate this tedious and resource-demanding process using a state-of-the-art deep learning

Current Biology, 2012 Hummingbirds are very distinctive in their form and behavior, the evolution of which is tightly connected to the evolution of their primary source of energy - floral nectar. About forty million years ago, the practical use of this dense fuel, available only in widely-dispersed, insect-sized aliquots - it was originally intended for insect pollinators -
