| effects of nectar volume and concentration on sugar intake rates of australian honeyeaters (meliphagidae). | sugar intake rates of captive australian honeyeaters (meliphagidae) feeding at artificial flowers varied across species, and as a function of nectar volume and concentration within each species. red wattlebirds (anthochaera carunculata, 110 g), achieved higher intake rates than new holland honeyeaters (phylidonyris novaehollandiae, 20 g), and both achieved higher rates than eastern spinebills (acanthorhynchus tenuirostris, 10 g). these results reflect differences in bill and tongue dimensions as ... | 1990 | 22160117 |
