Plumage7
  • The accelerated timing hypothesis appears more parsimonious from an evolutionary perspective than the system of Pyle ( 2005 ), and does not require the categorical rejection of plumage color and pattern in molt homology analyses, as advocated by Pyle ( 2005 ). (bioone.org)
  • The donning of fresh plumage is called molt, with new feathers replacing old. (startribune.com)
  • They molt into plumages known as basic I, basic II, basic III, basic IV, finally reaching definitive plumage in the fifth year. (startribune.com)
  • They molt after breeding to the less colorful basic plumage that creates identification problems in the fall. (startribune.com)
  • Molt matters - not only because replacing worn feathers is necessary for flight, but because molt is the catalyst for plumage changes that affect whether birds find mates and reproduce. (newswise.com)

  • See Molts for molt and plumage terminology. (birdsoftheworld.org)
Plumages3
  • For various reasons, it appears more likely that the timing of conventional prealternate molts in most Holarctic duck species has accelerated forward over time to autumn and winter in response to selection for early courtship and pairing, with resulting changes in the duration of alternate and basic plumages.
