“…This species feeds mainly on wild plant seeds but shifts to insects when raising its nestlings. Dietary insects include dipterans, coleopteran adults and larvae and larval lepidopterans [62, 63]. Mangroves not only produce pollen and nectar [64] but also harbor various invertebrates, including insects.…”

“…Backward stepwise selection of explanatory variables from Generalised Linear Mixed Effects Models (GLMMs) was conducted to model total productivity per pair, per-attempt productivity and tree sparrow chick food invertebrate abundance (Table 1). Tree sparrow chick food abundance was calculated, using our sweep net data, as the sum of food items representing >5% of chick diet and was composed of Araneae, Coleoptera, coleopteran larvae, Diptera, Lepidoptera larvae and Tipulidae (McHugh et al, 2016b). For the chick food abundance model, a full model was fitted to model invertebrate abundance and habitat types.…”

“…Contrary to Holland et al, (2014) where suction sampling was used, in this study WBSM were not found to contain high densities of chick food insects (although a different sampling method was used that also collected invertebrates from the ground), therefore, this relationship may reflect the low abundance of chick food resources within one of their preferred habitats. McHugh et al, (2016b) showed that tree sparrow chick diet was affected by the coverage of WBSM present, with chicks found to consume more seed with increasing WBSM area. This increase in seed consumption may impact the total number of chicks surviving to the fledgling stage as plant foods are a poor source of protein compared to invertebrates (Potts, 2012).…”
