Beehler (1983)
General
information
This study focused on a forest
on the southwest slopes of Mount Missim, north-northeast of Wau, Morobe
Province, Papua New Guinea and was completed from July 1978 to November
1980. While studying the behavior and ecology of four species of birds
of paradise in the mountains, the author gathered data on the feeding
behavior of the local bird species which shared fruit resources..
Data type
The authors recorded their data by
counting the number of visits of each bird species to each plant
species. Data are presented as an interaction frequency matrix, in
which cells with positive integers indicate the frequency of
interaction between a pair of species, and cells with zeros indicate no
interaction.
