	RECENT LITERATURE
		Consequences of differences in body mass, wing length and leg morphology for nectar-feeding birds.
		This review and synthesis compares characteristics o members o 10 families [many are subfamilies of other authors] o birds which feed on nectar: the honeycreepers (Drepanididae), New World orioles (Icteridae), lorikeets (Loriidae), honeyeaters (Meliphagidae), sunbirds (Nectariniidae), Old World orioles (Oriolidae), sugarbirds (Promeropidae), flower piercers (Parulidae, Thraupidae), hummingbirds (Trochilidae), and white-eyes (Zosteropidae).
		Of these, the authors describe the hummingbirds, honeyeaters, honeycreepers, and sunbirds as ecological analogs which differ in overall body size and dimensions o legs and wings either as a result of phylogenetic constraints or as a result of exposure to differing floral environ- ments.

	promerops
		What to do if you find a ringed bird
		The sugarbird family Promeropidae is endemic to southern Africa, represented by two species, Cape Sugarbird Promerops cafer and Gurney's Sugarbird P.
		The total world population of these two species is found almost exclusively in South Africa, with a small, isolated population of Gurney's Sugarbird in the eastern highlands of neighbouring Zimbabwe.
