Available information on diet of woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptidae) indicates that they eat invertebrates (Willis, 1972; Ridgely and Gwynne, 1989; Chapman and Rosenberg, 1991; Howell and Webb, 1995).
Anticorpos anti-WNV foram detectados com diferentes frequencias (0,3--60%), em aves de 12 familias, com indices relevantes entre os membros da familia Falconidea (60%), Polioptilidae (28,6%), Phasianidae (25%) e Dendrocolaptidae (23,5%).
Average life-span was greatest for Dendrocolaptidae and least for Tyrannidae [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED], but variation in adjusted life-span among families was not significant ([F.sub.4,17] = 0.45, P = 0.77).
Feduccia (1973) observed cranial similarities between certain Dendrocolaptidae and Philydorinae, suggesting that Dendrocolaptidae evolved from Philydorinae members.
