Fruiting phenology of nine tree and shrub species consumed by Trogon citreolus at Puerto Escondido Botanical Garden, Oaxaca, Mexico, from November 2020 to April 2021. Thick lines indicate high density of fruiting individuals (>5 individuals/0.4 ha), and thin lines indicate low density of fruiting individuals.

Trogonidae make up a family of birds with a mixed diet composed of fruit and animal matter. However, there is little research examining the foraging ecology of Trogon citreolus in regenerating tropical forest. We studied T. citreolus abundance and diet from November 2020 to April 2022 in a regenerating dry tropical forest of Central Pacific Mexico....

... families with the largest number of tree species fruiting were Fabaceae (n = 23 species), Rubiaceae (n = 9 species), Polygonaceae (n = 5 species), Apocynaceae (n = 4 species), and Bignonaceae (n = 4 species). Figure 3 illustrates the phenological patterns of the diet trees (n = 9) of the T. citreolus documented at the study area. (Table 1). ...Context 2

Of these tree species, F. cotinifolia trees are very scarce in the study area, and their fructification period is short (about a month). However, we observed the largest number of individuals feeding on figs of this tree, in groups of up to seven individuals. In the preserved dry forests of the central Mexican Pacific, the Citreoline ...
