Reflection of near-infrared light confers thermal protection in birds
Biologists have focused their attention on the optical functions of light reflected at ultraviolet and human-visible wavelengths. However, most radiant energy in sunlight occurs in ‘unseen’ near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. The capacity to reflect solar radiation at NIR wavelengths may enable animals...
