Priorities for Future Research

Introduction

Only the most basic natural history information is known about the Green Honeycreeper, much of which comes from a small number of observations from only portions of its vast geographic distribution. This is somewhat surprising, given that the Green Honeycreeper is common, conspicuous, and is widely distributed. Population numbers, densities, and demographic data have not been reported. Little is known about predation against Green Honeycreepers and future research can help understand more about their relationships with other organisms. In addition, research should also be done to learn about anthropogenic effects on Green Honeycreepers such as habitat loss due to urban development and deforestation, especially with the advent of modern climate change.
