Hawaii's honeycreepers
Living Planet
Finches evolved to exploit different niches on the Hawaiian Islands.
The rare Hawaiian honeycreeper had been kept at the Maui Bird Conservation Center in Olinda since it was captured for breeding on Sept. 9. Biologists failed to capture a mate for the aging bird, which was found in the Hanawi Natural Area Reserve.
The male Hawaiian Honeycreepers are often more brightly coloured than the females, but in the Hemignathini, they often look very similar.
The iiwi is one of the most spectacular of Hawaiian honeycreepers (2) (4) (5), a group that represents an impressive example of evolutionary radiation (6).
Perhaps the most devastating blow to the Hawaiian honeycreepers came when Culex mosquitoes were accidently introduced to the islands in the 1820s by a ship cleaning out its water casks in an island stream.
