Why do some female hummingbirds mimic males? New research from @uofwa.bsky.social and Carnegie Mellon University shows they do it to reduce aggression and access more nectar.

Cloaked in color: UW-led research finds some female hummingbirds evolve male plumage to dodge aggression
Trickery by female white-necked jacobin hummingbirds results in reduced aggression from other hummingbirds and increased access to nectar resources.

🌿 @uwbiology.bsky.social students recently visited the University of Washington Biology Greenhouse to learn about variations of pollination.

They learned about many pollination interactions that benefit both the plants and pollinators (mutualistic interactions) and examples of wild exceptions.
