Notes: This study investigated the consumption of honeydew by bird communities in southern Brazil. Birds were observed feeding on honeydew produced by scale insects on Mimosa scabrella host-trees, to clarify bird guilds—given birds could visit host-trees to feed on honeydew, honeydew-attracted insects, or both—and assessed the contribution of each bird species to beta diversity (SCBD) of bird communities across space and time. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10336-025-02320-1
