Hummingbirds may seem noble hovering fairies that trade pollination services for nectar, but more than 20 times, short-billed species evolved long toenails to cling to feed or pierce flowers to steal nectar, while long-billed species must hover to feed. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…

Ken Feeley and I just published a paper in Biotropica, following up on predictions my colleagues and I made in 2008 regarding the effects of climate warming in the lowland tropics. Unfortunately, it looks like some of them are coming true.
