A desktop study of the ecology of the African Quailfinch <i>Ortygospiza atricollis</i> in southern Africa

Abstract

... In conclusion, the present study provided valuable information on the breeding biology of the African Quailfinch. It demonstrated that the various citizen science databases possess a wealth of information which may improve our knowledge of secretive and poorly known species. This, in turn, can serve as a baseline for the design of field-based studies or provide basic knowledge to inform biodiversity management decisions.
