Feather function and the evolution of birds

Ryan S. Terrill et al.

Summary: Feathers play a crucial role in the evolutionary history of birds due to their ability to perform multiple functions. By reviewing how feather functions interact with avian evolution, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of how birds adapt to diverse environments and develop various life-history strategies.

Olfactory camouflage and communication in birds

Leanne A. Grieves et al.

Summary: Smell is an important aspect of avian behavior and ecology, and evidence suggests that birds use odoriferous preen oil to minimize detection by nest predators and for intraspecific olfactory communication. While there is mixed evidence for seasonal and sex differences in preen oil, a systematic review found that seasonal differences were present in 95% of species and sex differences were present in 47% of species. Phylogenetic comparative analyses supported the olfactory crypsis hypothesis for ground-nesting species and suggested that sex differences were more likely in species with uniparental incubation and during breeding.

Microstructures amplify carotenoid plumage signals in tanagers

Dakota E. McCoy et al.

Summary: This study on the tanager genus Ramphocelus found that microstructures, rather than carotenoid pigments, may be the major driver of male-female color differences. Males have more saturated color patches and elaborate microstructures that enhance color appearance. Carotenoid pigments were found to be concordant between males and females, suggesting they may not fully explain male appearance.

Morphogenesis of Iridescent Feathers in Anna's Hummingbird Calypte anna

Liliana D'Alba et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation and organization of melanosomes in hummingbird feathers, revealing that they mostly occur through passive self-assembly processes. Melanosomes contain air bubbles or vesicles when formed in pigment-producing cells and drastically expand in size when transferred to neighboring cells. The enlargement is driven by physical constraints and the positioning of the melanosomes within the feather structure.

Feather iridescence of Coeligena hummingbird species varies due to differently organized barbs and barbules

Marco Giraldo et al.

Summary: The coloration of Coeligena hummingbirds is determined by both the Venetian-blind-like arrangement of the barbules and the V-shaped, angular arrangement of the barbules at opposite sides of the barbs, reflecting the nanoscopic and microscopic organization of the hummingbird feather components.
