Primary moult of four species of larks: preliminary results for Large-billed Lark, Spike-heeled Lark, Grey-backed Sparrow-lark and Red-capped Lark
View through CrossRef
Knowledge about the parameters of primary moult of larks (Aladidae) is minimal. This paper presents preliminary results for four species: Large-billed Lark Galerida magnirostris, Spike-heeled Lark Chersomanes albofasciata, Grey-backed Sparrow-lark Eremopterix verticalis and Red-capped Lark Calandrella cinerea. The results are based on small samples and should not be treated as definitive. The purpose of the paper is to encourage collaboration so that gaps in knowledge can be filled.
