- "More than 90% of songbirds whose sexes are indistinguishable to us, including swallows and mockingbirds" look different to each other because of UV markings.
- an oft-repeated claim is apparently false: Kestrels can't, after all, track voles because of UV reflecting off urine. The amount of reflection is small, not distinguishable from water, and unlikely to be seen from afar.
