Call for Papers: African-European Birds
Leading up to the International Ornithological Congress 2022, Ostrich Journal of African Ornithology will be publishing a special issue titled, “Africa’s European Birds”.
Europe and Africa have strong ornithological ties, and understanding ornithology in Africa is fundamental to species conservation of many species that occur in Europe.
The initiative will be led by Ostrich Advisor Dr Dayo Osinubi (FitzPatrick Institute) and Guest Editor, Dr Almut E. Schlaich (Dutch Montagu’s Harrier Foundation). The special-issue invites research papers on the theme of birds found in both Europe and Africa. A wide variety of topics related to the theme will be considered e.g. communities, conservation, migration, threats and opportunities.
The deadline for submission is 15 October 2021. Articles are published online on acceptance, with the printed issue scheduled for March 2022.
This special issue is a great opportunity to showcase your research in preparation for the International Ornithological Congress to be held in Durban 14-22 August 2022: https://iocongress2022.com/
