Call for Papers: Hot Birds- Birds of the African Arid Zones

Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology invites research papers for a special issue on the theme of Africa's arid zone birds. 

The special issue, 'Hot Birds - Birds of the African Arid Zones', will consider a wide variety of topics related to the theme. Reviews of the threats to birds of arid areas, population biology or ecology, or behavioural and physiological adaptations to hot climates will be considered, along with modelling of distributions for species considered to be climatically limited by temperature.

Dr Susan Cunningham, FitzPatrick Institute, University of Cape Town, will be the Guest Editor. 

The deadline for submissions is 15 December 2017. 

Ostrich is Africa’s leading journal of African ornithology, published since 1930. Read more about the journal, submission information and instructions for authors here.

Since 1995, NISC has systematically built up competence and the necessary capacity in all aspects of publishing high-level research journals, with the professionalism needed to flourish in the increasingly competitive world of international research publications. No other publisher in South Africa commands the necessary technical skills, experience, competence, enthusiasm and resources to the same degree as NISC, in my view.
