Abstract:
Abstract Frugivorous birds may be able to reduce the cost of processing seeds by discarding seeds, selecting fruits that have a high pulp-to-seed ratio, or by choosing fruit in which seeds are packaged in a way that the frugivore's gut can void them more rapidly. A preference for fruit based on pulp-to-seed ratio or seed composition within a fruit is likely to have important implications for plants and evolution of seed size. We tested whether captive Silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) discriminate among artificial fruit on the basis of seed presence by presenting birds with artificial fruit wit

Abstract:
The influence of accessibility on the fruit preferences of frugivorous silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) was examined in three different contexts: for captive individuals, in a captive group and in a field situation. Individual silvereyes in small cages were presented with identical artificial fruit that differed only in their accessibility from a perch. The birds removed fruit that could be obtained by ‘picking’ rather than by ‘reaching up’ and avoided ‘hanging’ to remove fruit. A second experiment tested the response of silvereyes to fruit accessibility in a large aviary where birds fed in a

Abstract:
There are many secondary metabolites in ripe fruit that are toxic to vertebrate consumers. The most prevalent explanation for their presence in ripe fruit is to protect the fruit against consumers that do not disperse viable seeds. It has been hypothesised that seed dispersers are not deterred by, or can tolerate, the consumption of secondary metabolites in ripe fruit. We tested whether silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis), which are known seed dispersers, were deterred by quebracho (condensed tannins) presented in two different food types. In the first experiment, silvereyes were given artificial

Abstract:
AbstractSeed packaging is one fruit characteristic that may influence post-ingestional fruit processing in avian frugivores. We tested the response of a facultative frugivore, the Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis), to fruit containing different forms of seed packaging. Wild-caught, captive Silvereyes were presented with artificial fruit containing either one large seed or three small seeds of equivalent total volume, and their consumption rates were recorded over 90 min. In a second experiment, the seed transit times (ingestion to excretion) for similar large-seeded and small-seeded fruit consum

Abstract:
Birds are important consumers and dispersers of the seeds of fleshy fruit and some have been shown to be selective in their choice of fruit. However, our knowledge of how birds respond to a variety of fruit characteristics is poor. Some birds are known to avoid green fruit or consume them less than fruit of other colours. The fruit of many plant species are green when they are unripe and contain low concentrations of sugars and high concentrations of secondary compounds. In this study, captive silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) were presented with a choice of red, white and green artificial frui

Abstract:
The ability of migratory silvereyes to orient was tested in the geomagnetic field with one eye covered. Silvereyes using only their right eye were able to orient in migratory direction just as well as birds using both eyes. Using only their left eye, however, the birds did not show a significant directional preference. These data indicate that directional information from the magnetic field is mediated almost exclusively by the right eye and processed by the left hemisphere of the brain. Together with corresponding findings from European robins and indications for a similar phenomenon in homin

Abstract:
Recent studies in the Northern Hemisphere have shown that songbirds living in noisy urban environments sing at higher frequencies than their rural counterparts. However, several aspects of this phenomenon remain poorly understood. These include the geographical scale over which such patterns occur (most studies have compared local populations), and whether they involve phenotypic plasticity or microevolutionary change. We conducted a field study of silvereye ( Zosterops lateralis ) vocalizations over more than 1 million km 2 of urban and rural south-eastern Australia, and compared possible eff

The main objective of my investigation was to ascertain the prevalence and impact of avian pox in New Zealand silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis). Silvereyes were mist--‐netted between 2010 and 2012 in three locations of the South Island and were examined for external signs of avian pox. Of the 409 silvereyes captured over this time period, avian pox lesions were identified in 9 birds (2.2%) and were found in both sexes as well as in juveniles. The highest incidence of avian pox was seen on the west coast at Moana (7.2%) between late May and mid--‐June 2011. Overall prevalence for each location o

Abstract:
Birds are a major pest in vineyards both in New Zealand and overseas. There is a need for new behavioural research on birds' foraging habits and feeding preferences in vineyards, as much of the literature to date is anecdotal. Research on cues to birds' feeding will provide a basis on which new deterrent and control strategies can be devised. Spatial-and temporal bird damage in a small vineyard block was mapped to find if damage was correlated with grape maturity and environmental factors.

Abstract:
Impact assessments increasingly rely on models to project the potential impacts of climate change on species distributions. Ecological niche models have become established as an efficient and widely used method for interpolating (and sometimes extrapolating) species’ distributions. They use statistical and machine-learning approaches to relate species’ observations to environmental predictor variables and identify the main environmental determinants of species’ ranges. Based on this estimated species–environment relationship, the species’ potential distribution can be mapped in space (and time). In this chapter, we explain the concept and underlying assumptions of ecological niche models, describe the basic modelling steps using the silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) as a simple real-world example, identify potential sources of uncertainty in underlying data and in the model, and discuss potential limitations as well as latest developments and future perspectives of ecological niche models in a global change context.
