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.
