Resumo: Despite the predominant insectivorous habits of woodpeckers, the Yellow-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes flavifrons) stands out for its primarily frugivorous diet. In this study, we report two observations made in the Atlantic Forest of Goiás regarding nectar consumption by M. flavifrons. These are the first documented records of this habit in Brazil for the flowers of Inga ingoides and Combretum fruticosum. This behavior suggests that pollination might be involved in the process and there is possibly a greater demand for nectar by birds in the interior of the country during the driest period of the year.

Neste estudo, reportamos duas observações na Mata Atlântica de Goiás de consumo de néctar por M. flavifrons, que correspondem aos primeiros registros documentados desse hábito no Brasil, notadamente, nas flores de Inga ingoides e Combretum fruticosum. O comportamento chama à atenção pela possibilidade de polinização envolvida no processo, denotando uma demanda possivelmente maior de néctar pelas aves, no interior do país, durante a época mais seca do ano.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/8227710.5007/2175-7925.2021.e82277Biotemas; v. 34 n. 4 (2021); 1-52175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/82277/47800Copyright (c) 2021 Estevão Santos, Jayrson Ara´´ujohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, EstevãoOliveira, Jayrson Araújo de 2021-12-01T17:51:53Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/82277Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2021-12-01T17:51:53Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
