Visual Sensory Signals Dominate Tactile Cues during Docked Feeding in Hummingbirds
Animals living in and interacting with natural environments must monitor and respond to changing conditions and unpredictable situations. Using information from multiple sensory systems allows them to modify their behavior in response to their dynamic environment but also creates the challenge of in...
