Wagner3 1Harris World Ecology Center, 1 University Boulevard, Department of Biology, University of Missouri, St Louis, Missouri 63121, United States of America 2Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Balaclava Road, North Ryde NSW 2109, Australia 3Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department, Ramaley N122, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, United States of America *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Summary. Two of the five Australian Meliphaga species, the White-lined M. albilineata and Kimberley M. fordiana Honeyeaters, are endemic to sandstone habitats in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, respectively. Little is known of their ecology, and their taxonomic status remains debated. We addressed this information gap by studying the foraging ecology and interspecific interactions of both taxa in the field. When compared with other Australian honeyeaters, both species were infrequently found in flocks, and foraged low in the canopy. Within their respective local assemblages, however, the White-lined Honeyeater foraged relatively higher in the forest strata than most species, whereas the Kimberley Honeyeater foraged lower than all other co-occurring honeyeaters. The results presented here fill in some of the gaps in knowledge about these species’ ecologies, and support the retention of the Kimberley Honeyeater as a distinct species. Introduction According to Christidis & Boles (2008), there are two species of Meliphaga honeyeaters in the Top End of the Northern Territory and the Kimberley in Western Australia, both of which are poorly known. One of these, the White-lined Honeyeater M.
