Estrategia Nutricional: Aves Nectarívoras 10 Datos que Usted Debe Saber

El néctar es una parte importante de la dieta de aproximadamente 5% de las aves del mundo (Klasing 1998, Gartrell 2000). Ya que las flores son una fuente de comida estacional en zonas templadas, las especies nectarívoras se encuentran principalmente en regiones tropicales. Las especies nectarívoras de las zonas templadas tienden a ser migratorias (Morse 1975, Klasing 1998 . . .
