A Spectrophotometric Study of Plumage Color in the Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata), the Most Abundant South American Columbiforme

This paper examines plumage color differences in Eared Doves using spectrophotometry, finding UV-range sexual dichromatism invisible to human observers. This research is unrelated to circadian lighting, human health, or architectural lighting design.
