Their territorial fury is especially aimed at other hummingbirds. Competition over a patch of flowers or a mate often results in high-speed aerial chases, divebombing and beak jousting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So when Gustavo Ca\u00f1as-Valle, an ornithologist and birding guide, stumbled across a cave full of hummingbirds nesting and roosting together in Ecuador\u2019s High Andes, he could hardly believe it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI thought, \u2018This looks like a colony,\u2019\u201d Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle said. He added, \u201cThey were <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/12\/07\/science\/hummingbirds-bees.html\" title=\"\">like bees<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He documented 23 adult birds and four chicks,all of the subspecies Oreotrochilus chimborazo chimborazo, commonly known as the Chimborazo hillstar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle\u2019s discovery, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/auk\/advance-article-abstract\/doi\/10.1093\/ornithology\/ukae063\/7912599?redirectedFrom=fulltext\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> in the journal Ornithology in November, may be the first documented example of hummingbirds that nested and roosted communally. It is also notable that he found the birds engaging in both these behaviors in the same space \u2014 something that even highly social species from other bird families tend not to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Juan Luis Bouzat, an evolutionary geneticist at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and another author of the study who is also Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle\u2019s former graduate adviser, said the finding raised fascinating questions about the role environmental factors can play in driving group living and in promoting the evolution of certain social traits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bouzat and Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle at first hypothesized that harsh environmental conditions along the Chimborazo volcano where they found the nests had forced the birds together. The birds live more than 12,000 feet above sea level on a sparsely vegetated slope where it is hard to come by nectar-providing flowers, water or shelter from freezing temperatures and biting winds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEither you aggregate or perish,\u201d Dr. Bouzat said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But this may not be the full story. Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle explored the region and found six other examples of hummingbirds nesting and roosting together. He and Dr. Bouzat also surveyed concrete drainage pipes scattered around the area. The pipes had similar environmental conditions to the cave but could fit only one or two nests. The researchers found that just 45 percent of the pipes were occupied by nesting females \u2014 significantly lower than the frequency expected by chance, according to computer simulations the authors conducted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There were significantly more nests found in groups, on the other hand, than there would have been if randomly predicted. Of the 74 total nests Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle documented, 82 percent were part of groups. Taken together, these findings implied that the birds were actively choosing group living over nesting alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bouzat suspects that environmental factors originally caused the birds to aggregate but that once they bunched together, they evolved traits that made them more social, helping them adapt to their environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was very surprised to read about a truly colonial hummingbird, because most are aggressive and intolerant of others of the same species,\u201d said Scott Robinson, an ornithologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History who was not involved in the work. \u201cNo one would have considered a hummingbird a candidate for coloniality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Charles Brown, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Tulsa who also was not involved in the research, said he was not convinced, however, that the hummingbirds observed in the study actually qualified as being colonial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Animals that live in true colonies often behave in ways that benefit their neighbors, Dr. Brown said, such as working together to find food or detect predators. While it was interesting to find hummingbirds in close quarters, \u201cthere was no evidence of any social behavior on the part of the animals nesting in these clusters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle pointed out, however, that he observed the hummingbirds from the cave departing and returning together, suggesting a cohesive social group. \u201cIt\u2019s not that each one is doing their own thing,\u201d Dr. Bouzat said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the authors agree that more research is needed. They hope to conduct behavioral studies to determine if the hummingbirds are merely tolerating each other or are actively cooperating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They would also like to conduct surveys for other hummingbird species in similar High Andes environments to see if they are engaging in group living, too. \u201cI\u2019m sure there are other unknown caves in the mountains where hummingbirds live,\u201d Mr. Ca\u00f1as-Valle said. \u201cI\u2019m expecting to find other species, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
