Aggression within a honeyeater community was examined on both diurnal and
seasonal scales over a period of one year. Aggression was more common in the morning
and afternoon than at midday. Honeyeaters were most abundant during the flowering
of two banksias. Most aggressive interactions were recorded during these months. It is
suggested that the level of aggression may be influenced seasonally, by honeyeater
abundance, and diurnally, by changes in nectar availability.
