Sorensen (1981)
General information
This paper
examined the feeding preferences of frugivorous birds in relation
to the seasonality, abundance, growth forms, and nutritive/energetic
value of fruit occuring in Wytham woods, near Oxford, South Britain.
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.
