摘要：

A proliferation of experiments emphasizing the importance of the near-ultraviolet (UV) in avian mate choice has led to the proposal that this might be used exclusively by birds to signal to each other without alerting UV-insensitive mammalian predators. However, a new study suggests that information offered in the UV is no more 'special' than that offered in other wavebands.
