Abstract: ABSTRACT. In forest ecosystems, numerous species of insectivorous birds use certain tree species as feeding and nesting substrates. Between 2009 and 2010, the use of different floristic components as feeding substrate by the Pygarrhichas albogularis King, 1831 was evaluated in a southern Chilean secondary native forest. From a total of 13 trees and bush species, six tree species were used by P. albogularis as a feeding substrate. Tree use was limited to intermediate heights (11-20 m) and, mainly, to the trunk… Show more

“…We predicted that caterpillar predation should differ among host species due to differences in canopy cover, height and structure. Other studies investigating insectivorous bird visitation rates to tree species have found that they prefer certain species, in particular the ones with greater insect abundance ( Gantz et al, 2015 ) or with higher canopies ( Fink et al, 2009 ). However, it is likely that young saplings planted at the same time in our experiment did not have pronounced architectural differences yet and this may have obscured possible predator preferences.…”
