The microstructure of white feathers predicts their visible and near-infrared reflectance properties
Research on the optical properties of animal integuments, including fur, feather, skin and cuticle, has focussed almost exclusively on animal-visible wavelengths within the narrow range of 300–700 nm. By contrast, the near-infrared (NIR) portion of direct sunlight, spanning 700–2600 nm, has been lar...
