Multilocus analysis of honeyeaters (Aves: Meliphagidae) highlights spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the influence of biogeographic barriers in the Australian monsoonal zone AU Toon, AHughes, JMJoseph, L SO  MOLECULAR ECOLOGY VL  19 IS  14 BP  2980 EP  2994 PY  2010 TC  0 AB  Multilocus studies in phylogenetics and comparative phylogeography have the power to explore a broader spectrum of evolutionary questions than either discipline has alone. To examine the origins of sympatry in a group of closely related birds of mostly mesic eucalypt woodlands in Australia, we reconstructed the relationships among species of Entomyzon and Melithreptus honeyeaters (Aves: Passeriformes: Meliphagidae) using a mitochondrial marker, ND2, and six non-coding nuclear loci (total 4719 base pairs). By sampling across the geographical range of each species, we studied not only their phylogenetic relationships to each other but also the spatial distribution of their genetic diversity. We tested several biogeographic hypotheses concerning the role of Pleistocene environmental change in Australia. Phylogenetic gene trees support the current understanding of E. cyanotis as the sister to Melithreptus. Non-monophyly of M. lunatus in Australia's southern temperate woodlands highlights the need for a revision of systematics within Melithreptus. Phylogeographic analysis of the three northern species in Australia's monsoon tropics, M. gularis, M. albogularis and E. cyanotis, suggests that the roles of the Carpentarian and Torresian Barriers in shaping geographic structure in each of the species have been more complex and temporally dynamic than earlier morphology-based arguments of vicariance had suggested. We discuss their roles as ecological filters as well as barriers.

The use of fruit and other foods as enrichment for rainbow lorikeets and blue faced honey eaters in Rainbow Landings at Edinburgh Zoo. AU Peerless, Gordon SO  Ratel VL  36 IS  4 BP  11 EP  15 PY  2009 TC  0 AB  This project has now been going for 8 weeks and it was decided at the outset that rather than do it every day and have it become just part of daily routine we would do it on 3 days a week, namely Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Also we would not make the fruit extra to what they were getting before but instead we would take it from the fruit that was allocated for that day, the rest being served in the night time aviary as before. So far the birds seem to be getting a lot out of it judging by their reaction when they see the fruit being brought out and the fact that there is very little wastage. We are always looking for new challenges to set them and have recently started using the tentra palm with its hessian-like outer coating. This is despite the fact that this particular plant is now officially dead but our understanding gardeners have left it in place for us to use. Without a doubt our biggest challenge so far is to find feeding places for the honey eaters where they will not be pushed out by the lorikeets. It would appear that using holes into which they can insert their beaks but the lorikeets are unable to get their tongues is a viable way forward The project has also provided the public with a further enhancement of their visit to Rainbow Landings that allows them to see the birds reacting and feeding in a more natural manner and has lead to a great deal of interest on their part. This initial stage of the project has shown that there is definitely more work to be done on the enrichment of the lorikeets and the honey eaters and it is hoped that as the project continues to run for the next 6 months we can gather further information on the birds' reactions and behaviour as well as the reactions of the visitors and their perception of the zoo in general.

Effect of patch size and bird aggression on bird species richness: A community-based project in tropical/subtropical eucalypt woodland AU Chan, Ken SO  Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland VL  111 IS  April 30 BP  1 EP  11 PY  2004 TC  0 AB  A community-based observer project was conducted to examine the effect of patch size and aggressive bird species on bird richness in eucalypt woodlands of tropical/subtropical Queensland. Up to 24 study patches belonging to six patch-size categories were censused each month for three years at sites surrounding Mackay, Rockhampton, Emerald, Bundaberg and Sunshine Coast. In all years bird numbers increased with decreasing latitude from Bundaberg to Mackay. Species richness peaked during the migratory months in spring, particularly in the month of September. A significant difference in species number according to patch size was found in Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast and Mackay (P0.05) but not in Bundaberg (P>0.05). A significant positive relationship across all domains and years was evident between species richness and patch size (b=0.101, P0.05), indicating that the effect of patch size species richness per unit of area was great at the regional scale. Patches occupied by high numbers of aggressive honeyeaters, noisy miner Manorina melanocephala and/or blue-faced honeyeater Entomyzon cyanotis recorded significantly fewer bird species than in patches where the two aggressive species were absent (F=47.576, d.f.=1,518, P0.001). The effect was greater in smaller patches (F=3.748, d.f=5,518, P0.01). For effective conservation by farmers when clearing land for pastoral purposes, it is suggested that a patch be sufficiently large to nullify the impact of aggressive birds on other species. The use of large numbers of volunteers for a study on bird communities is also discussed.

The foraging behaviour of avian nectarivores in a monsoonal Australian woodland over a six-month period AU Franklin, Donald C. SO  Corella VL  21 IS  2 BP  48 EP  54 PY  1997 TC  0 AB  The foraging behaviour of one lorikeet and six honeyeater species were compared over a six month period in tropical woodland near Darwin, Northern Territory. The study identified three broad groupings of nectarivores - the Rainbow Lorikeet, small honeyeaters (Brown, Dusky) and large honeyeaters (Silver-crowned and Little Friarbird, Blue-faced Honeyeater and Yellow-throated Miner). These groups were differentiated principally on relative dependence upon flowers and choice of flower types, but also on non-nectar foraging strategies. Larger nectarivores fed predominantly in eucalypts and smaller nectarivores at a greater variety of sources. There was surprisingly little variation between honeyeater species in their dependence upon flowers (54-74% of foraging observations), but the Rainbow Lorikeet fed almost exclusively at flowers. The study suggests several ways in which tropical Australian nectarivore communities may differ from their temperate-zone counterparts. UT BIOSIS:PREV199799653048 SN  0155-0438 ER  PT  J TI
