      From: rsw@therandymon.com              From the «human males: you know what to do» department:       Feed: Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily       Title: Female hummingbirds avoid harassment by looking as flashy as males       Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2021 11:16:51 -0400       Link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/08/210826111651.htm              Much like in human society, female hummingbirds have taken it into their own       hands to avoid harassment. By watching white-necked Jacobin hummingbirds in       Panama, researchers discovered that over a quarter of females have the same       brightly colored ornamentation as males, which helps them avoid aggressive male       behaviors during feeding, such as pecking and body slamming.                            --       Port 80 is overrated.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
