Editing Spiderhunter (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
Unlike the rest of the family, which is more widespread, the spiderhunters are confined to the [[Oriental zoogeographic region]], occurring from [[India]] east to the [[Philippines]] and from the [[Himalayas]] south to [[Java]]; they reach their greatest species diversity in the [[Thai-Malay peninsula]], [[Sumatra]] and [[Borneo]].<ref name = "HBW">{{Cite book | first1 = Robert | last1 = Cheke | first2 = Clive | last2 = Mann | editor-last = Josep | editor-first = del Hoyo | editor2-last = Andrew | editor2-first = Elliott | editor3-last = David | editor3-first = Christie | contribution = Family Nectariniidae (Sunbirds) | title = [[Handbook of the Birds of the World]].

In addition several species occur in human-created habitat such as gardens or plantations. Most species are lowland species, but the [[Whitehead's spiderhunter]] is more of a montane species.
