dc.description | Flower piercers (Diglossia) have a modification in the bill tip like a hook, which is used for drilling a hole in the corolla of flowers and obtaining the nectar. These birds share morphological similarities among them, but they are in inter-specific competition in the Andean forest. However, it is little the knowledge about the feeding strategies that they use to mitigate the interspecific competition. Thegoal of this study was to describe the strategies that three species of flower piercers (Diglossa humeralis,D. lafresnayii y D. cyanea) use to avoid competition for feeding resources in an Andean forest from Nariño. We made field direct observations of some individuals of Diglossa to describe the feeding strategies. Moreover, fecal samples of the three species were collected to study their preys. We found that the three species of flower piercers had similar forms of obtaining nectar, but they select some species of plants and type of p r e y. D. humeralis is much more generalist than D. lafresnayii and D. cyanea, which have lower amplitude in their feeding resources. This suggests that differences in the richness of food resources of the three species, their temporal geographic exclusion and morphological adaptations of the bill allow them occupying the same geographic area and being sympatric. | en-US |
dc.description | Los pinchaflores (Diglossas) se caracterizan por tener el pico con forma de gancho, el cual usan para perforar las flores y robar el néctar. Pese a sus similitudes morfológicas, habitan en competencia interespecífica en los bosques andinos. Hasta el momento se sabe poco sobre las estrategias de alimentación que les permiten mitigar la competencia. En este estudio se describe las estrategias que utilizan tres especies de pinchaflores (Diglossa humeralis, D. lafresnayii y D. cyanea) para evitar la competencia por recursos alimenticios en un bos-que alto andino de Nariño. Para ello se realizó avistamientos en campo, y se colectó muestras fecales de los pinchaflores para describir sus presas. Se encontró que las tres especies tienen formas similares de acceder al néctar, pero poseen preferencias en las especies vegetales y tipo de presas. D. humeralis es mucho más generalista, mientras que D. lafresnayii y D. cyanea tienen menor amplitud en su alimento. Esto sugiere que las diferencias en la riqueza de los recursos alimenticios que toman las tres especies, la exclusión geográfica temporal y las adaptaciones morfológicas del pico, les permiten ser simpátricas. | spa |

Até agora, pouco se sabe sobre as técnicas de alimentação que lhes permitam atenuar a competição. Este estudo descreve as técnicas utilizadas por três espécies do pinchaflores (D. humeralis, D. lafresnayii e D. cyanea) para evitar a competição por recursos alimentares em uma floresta andina alta de Nariño. Nós usamos avistamentos no campo e coleta de amostras fecais dos pinchaflores para descrever suas presas. Nós descobrimos que as três espécies têm formas semelhantes de acesso ao néctar, mas eles têm preferências em espécies de plantas e tipo de presa. D. humeralis é muito mais geral, enquanto D. lafresnayii e D. cyanea ter menos fontes de alimento. Isto sugere que a simpatría é suportada por diferenças na riqueza de recursos alimentares, exclusão geográfica temporária e morfologia de pico das três espécies. | pt-BR |
