The current state of knowledge on molt and plumage sequences in selected tropical families: a review

摘要: Annual molts and the subsequent plumages they produce are a ubiquitous element of avian life history. Research pertaining to utility molt plumage has produced robust framework age-categorization for vast majority temperate avifauna. In comparison bird species, however, we know very little about resident topical plumage. Published data sequences limited in scope, covering few and, our knowledge, not currently synthesized. Here combine new information gathered from field museum specimens
