Birds vs. bees: Study helps explain how flowers evolved to get pollinators to specialize

Review highlights why animals have evolved to favor one side of the brain

"...birds, like chickens, use one eye to distinguish grain from pebbles on the ground while at the same time using the other eye to keep watch for predators overhead."
