We used an automated radio telemetry network to document the activity of radio telemetered Hawaiian forest birds in two study sites, one a continuous forest and the other a fragmented forest. Four bird species were studied: the nectarivorous ʻiʻiwi (Drepanis coccinea) and ʻapapane (Himatione sanguinea), the frugivorous ʻōmaʻo (Myadestes obscurus), and the generalist Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi (Chlorodrepani virens; hereafter ʻamakihi). In the continuous forest we also tracked two non-native species: the frugivorous red-billed leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea), and the generalist warbling white-eye (Zosterops japonicus). Using sequential changes in radio signal strength we were able to estimate when birds were moving or resting....
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete.
