Firefly species (Lampyridae) vary in the color of their adult bioluminescence. It has been hypothesized that color is selected to enhance detection by conspecifics. One mechanism to improve visibility of the signal is to increase contrast against ambient light.

Birds at both shared and solitary patches preferred multiflowered to single-flowered inflorescences, but the magnitude of this preference...
