Príklady hummingbird

• One kind of hummingbird has a beak that is longer than its body! 

• The hummingbird’s beak goes down into flowers to drink the juice. 

• But do we really know enough about whale and hummingbird behavior to legitimately come to this conclusion?

• The maintenance of a costly flowering strategy is probably necessary to guarantee the presence of hummingbirds in the area, the main pollinators.

• It has apical inflorescences, exposed in natural forest corridors, thereby facilitating discovery by the territorial and non-territorial hummingbirds that use the corridors as foraging paths.

• Each month, we estimated the species richness of the hummingbird community based on the censuses, observations at flowering bromeliads, and opportunistic records.

• Coadapted competitors: the flowering seasons of hummingbird-pollinated plants in a tropical forest.

• Around 10-12 foraging bouts h-1 were performed, lasting approximately 90-120 s, during which hummingbirds visited 14.6 + 8.3 flowers from 4.67 + 1.95 plants.

• Lower fruit production by flowers that were experimentally rendered rigid may be due to fewer and shorter visits by short-billed hummingbirds.

• Both sing (the hummingbird adds a courtship dance), defend territories and mates, raise young, and migrate seasonally for long distances.

• We performed two censuses per monthly field trip to estimate hummingbird abundance.

• There is a morphological correspondence between the length of hummingbird bills and the length of the corollas in ornithophilous flowers.

• However, we observed that hummingbirds with much shorter bills were also able to extract nectar and pollinate the flowers.

• The same procedure was used to calculate the similarity of the hummingbird species according to the bromeliads used by each species.

• However, the most common motif by far on the picks-and the only motif to appear on provenienced picks-is avian, and most frequently a hummingbird.

• In addition, hummingbirds were associated with love and lovemaking.

• Around this time of the year, hummingbirds were rarely seen, while flowers continued to be visited by insects.
