Multispectral Coloration at the Burke Museum
Projects Multispectral Coloration at the Burke Museum Hummingbird sight has only been consistently studied in the last few years. Humans can see the visible spectrum of light, but that’snot all that exists. The sun produces ultraviolet light rays and there are also infrared light rays. We are aware that these ultravioletrays exist (have you ever […]
Floral Characteristic Impact on Hovering energetics
Projects Floral Characteristic Impact on Hovering energetics Hummingbirds have incredibly high levels of energy expenditure and have developed both behavioral and physiological traits that allow them to obtain sugar to supply these high metabolic needs. Some hummingbirds do this by having exclusive relationships with flower species that provide them with nectar, therefore solidifying the availability […]
3D Modelling Projects
Projects 3D Modelling Projects (Morphoteam, CT scanning, Photogrammetry) Multiple projects we are working on require the 3D digitization of hummingbird forms. We are using Burke Museum specimens to visualize bill serrations that are used as weapons (link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/brv.12436). Using programs such as 3D Slicer and SlicerMorph (link: https://slicermorph.github.io/) , we create 3D forms that can […]
