Mechanosensory structures in the beaks of probe-foraging birds in relation to their foraging ecology
Some taxa of probe-foraging birds (ibises, kiwi and scolopacid shorebirds) possess the sensory of capability of “remote-touch”, allowing them to detect mechanical vibrations in their foraging substrates using a specialised bill-tip organ in their beaks. This enables them to remotely detect the locat...
