Generalism drives abundance: A computational causal discovery approach by Chuliang Song, Benno I. Simmons, Marie-Josée Fortin, Andrew Gonzalez

“…Contrary to previous work, all three independent methods strongly indicate that generalism drives abundance when applied to datasets on plant-hummingbird communities and reef fishes. Furthermore, we find that selection processes are more important than drift processes in structuring multispecies systems when the environment is variable. …”

Reproductive biology and flower-visitor interactions of two bromeliad species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest by Matheus R. e Silva, Bruno C. Barbosa, Ana Paula G. de Faria

“…Both species presented a varied visitation guild, and although Q. indecora presented flowers with ornitofilous characteristics, no hummingbirds were recorded for this species. The hummingbird Thalurania glaucopis was the main visitor for Aechmea bruggeri and the bee Trigona cf. braueri was the main visitor for Quesnelia indecora. …”

Functional analysis of cag pathogenicity island diversity in helicobacter pylori isolated from multi-ethnic patients in Malaysia by Shaza Azlin Razak, Alfizah Hanafiah, Asif Sukri, Neoh, Hui-Min, Noraziah Mohamad Zin

“…Inflammatory activities are observed and IL-8 concentration in the milder stage was found in significantly higher quantities than in the severe stage (P = 0.027). The ‘hummingbird’ phenotype was observed to cause severe effects in infected cells with cagPAI-intact H. pylori. …”

Convergence without divergence in North American red-flowering Silene by Andrea E. Berardi, Andrea E. Berardi, Andrea E. Berardi, Ana C. Betancourt Morejón, Ana C. Betancourt Morejón, Robin Hopkins, Robin Hopkins

“…We find that red-flowering species have evolved floral traits that align with a traditional hummingbird syndrome, but that these trait values overlap with several white and pink species as well. …”

OralNet: Fused Optimal Deep Features Framework for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Detection by Ramya Mohan, Arunmozhi Rama, Ramalingam Karthik Raja, Mohammed Rafi Shaik, Mujeeb Khan, Baji Shaik, Venkatesan Rajinikanth

“…The research encompasses four stages: (i) Image collection and preprocessing, gathering and preparing histopathology images for analysis; (ii) feature extraction using deep and handcrafted scheme, extracting relevant features from images using deep learning techniques and traditional methods; (iii) feature reduction artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA) and concatenation: Reducing feature dimensionality using AHA and concatenating them serially and (iv) binary classification and performance validation with three-fold cross-validation: Classifying images as healthy or oral squamous cell carcinoma and evaluating the framework’s performance using three-fold cross-validation. …”

Year-round monitoring reveals prevalence of fatal bird-window collisions at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center by Rebecca M. Schneider, Christine M. Barton, Keith W. Zirkle, Caitlin F. Greene, Kara B. Newman

“…Our findings indicate that birds collide with VTCRC windows during the summer breeding season in addition to spring and fall migration. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) was the most common window collision species and accounted for 10% of deaths. …”

Corolla micromorphology in 12 plant species with different pollination systems by Fernando Vélez-Esperilla, Ángela Fondón-Aguilar, Tomás Rodríguez-Riaño, Ana Ortega-Olivencia

“…Results: The adaxial side of the corolla lobes in melittophilous, myrmecophilous, psychophilous and sapromyophilous species showed papillose cells, and the same was true of the sphingophilous species Cestrum nocturnum and hummingbird-pollinated Nicotiana glauca. In contrast, tabular cells were observed in the perching-pollinator ornithophilous species Grevillea robusta, the two studied chiropterophilous species, and autogamous Stellaria media. …”

Bird-window collisions in the summer breeding season by Stephen B. Hager, Matthew E. Craig

“…Generally, the species observed as carcasses matched birds considered a ‘high risk’ for BWCs, e.g., Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), and those considered ‘low risk’ were not observed as carcasses, e.g., Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea). …”
