「多氯聯苯的影響是及其複雜的,」資深的研究者安德烈‧唐特(André Dhondt)說,他是康奈爾大學鳥類學實驗室鳥群研究主任和埃德溫‧H‧摩根鳥類學教授( Edwin H. Morgens Professor of Ornithology)。「這一事例說明以往大多數有關多氯聯苯的研究並不能給予我們全貌,因為他們並沒有涉及到特定類型多氯聯苯的影響,而只是研究了多氯聯苯總體水平上造成的影響。」

她的學生丹尼爾.凡.貝爾倫(Daniel Van Beveren)在孔雀冠羽上裝設了機械振盪器,並且觀察冠羽的擺動。當機器的振盪頻率為二十六赫茲時──也就是一秒振盪二十六次──冠羽擺動得特別劇烈。這是會令孔雀冠羽產生共鳴的頻率,也正好是雄孔雀求偶時擺動尾羽的頻率,因此康恩對我說:「這不可能只是巧合。」
