Movement Patterns of a Native and Non‐native Frugivore in Hawaii and Implications for Seed Dispersal

摘要: Avian frugivores historically played important roles as seed dispersers across the Hawaiian Islands, but presently, ‘ Oma‘ o( Myadestes obscurus) is only extant native frugivore in wild on Island of Hawaii. During recent decades, introduced generalist Japanese White-eye (Zosterops japonicus) has become most common bird The movements avian largely dictate how far seeds get dispersed and into what kinds microhabitats. This study compares movement patterns diet Oma‘o to understand a differs from non-native type distances dispersed.
