Аннотация

Abstract Habitat subdivision and resource partitioning of the birds of the evergreen high forest of the southern Cape were investigated. Most species utilise a wide stratal range with insectivores predominating in the lower strata and mixed-feeders and frugivores in the upper strata. Members of the respective foraging guilds used a different stratum or were separated by differences in morphology or mass, suggesting different sized prey and limited competition.
