 ave you ever wondered how a bird sees the world? Is a yellow bird really y
 ellow through a bird's eyes?\n\nBirds can see much that is invisible to hu
 mans: colours\, motion\, and details. Ornithologist Robert Montgomerie wil
 l reveal how research on bird colouration changes our understanding of how
  birds see the world. \n\n---\n\nAvez-vous déjà demandé ce que le monde re
 ssemble d'une vue d'oiseau? Un oiseau jaune est-il vraiment jaune?\n\nLes 
 oiseaux peuvent voir beaucoup de choses qui sont invisibles aux humains: l
 es couleurs\, le mouvement et les détails. L'ornithologue en vedette Rober
 t Montgomerie\, révélera comment la recherche sur la coloration des oiseau
 x change notre compréhension de ce que les oiseaux peuvent voir.\n\n---\n
 \nPresented by ROAAr (Rare & Special Collections\, Osler\, Art\, and Archi
 ves) \n\n\n\n	'Just about everything that I find interesting about animals 
 is due to sexual selection—colours\, songs\, extravagant ornaments\, displ
 ays\, and\, of course\, sex.' - Robert Montgomerie\, professor of evolutio
 nary biology\, Queen's University\n\n\nProfessor Montgomerie's research gr
 oup studies the evolution of reproductive strategies\, with emphasis on se
 xual selection especially sperm competition and the evolution of animal co
 loration. While birds and fishes are the main focus of the work\, the rese
 arch is focused more in questions than taxa. Recent studies have also incl
 uded snakes\, mammals\, and fruit flies. With regards to teaching\, Profes
 sor Montgomerie's primary goal is to help students explore the wonders of 
 biology (and statistics!)\, and then\, especially\, to communicate about w
 hat they have learned by writing or public speaking. University is mainly 
 about learning how to learn. Course topics include advanced statistics for
  biologists (undergraduate and graduate)\; history\, and philosophy of bio
 logy.\n
