Deep learning image segmentation reveals patterns of UV reflectance evolution in passerine birds

Here, the authors develop software that uses photographs of birds to extract information on plumage UV reflectance. They use these data to show that UV reflectance is phylogenetically conserved and associated with the light environment.
