Coevolution: Puff Pollination in Tropical Flowers [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 A new study shows that birds plucking anthers of the Melastome, Axinaea, demonstrate a novel bird pollination mechanism. Each stamen of Axinaea offers a nutrient-rich, berry-like food body that, when bitten, releases a puff of pollen allowing transfer to stigmas by wind or the pollen-dusted bird.

Of hummingbirds and helicopters: Hovering costs, competitive ability, and foraging strategies [PDF]
, 2004 Wing morphology and flight kinematics profoundly influence foraging costs and the overall behavioral ecology of hummingbirds. By analogy with helicopters, previous energetic studies have applied the momentum theory of aircraft propellers to estimate ...
