  1. Taxonomic and phylogenetic utility of variation in advertising calls of francolins and spurfowls (Galliformes: Phasianidae)

    Taxonomic and phylogenetic utility of variation in advertising calls of francolins and spurfowls (Galliformes: Phasianidae)

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Tshifhiwa G. Mandiwana-Neudani --- Department of Biodiversity, South Africa Rauri C. K. Bowie --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa Martine Hausberger --- Université de Rennes 1, France Laurence Henry --- Université de Rennes 1, France Timothy M. Crowe --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa
    Systematists have not often made use of avian vocalizations to assess the taxonomic rank of birds, or to infer their phylogenetic relationships. The likely reasons for this stem from the perceived inability to distinguish genetic and ecological components of variation...

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology • Authors: Tshifhiwa G Mandiwana-Neudani --- Department of Biodiversity, South Africa Robin M Little --- FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, DST-NRF Centre of Excellence, Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa Timothy M Crowe --- FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, DST-NRF Centre of Excellence, Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa Rauri CK Bowie --- FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, DST-NRF Centre of Excellence, Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa
    Afro-Asiatic perdicine galliform taxa commonly and inconsistently referred to as francolins, spurfowls and partridges have contentious taxonomic and phylogenetic histories. Hall combined two putative monophyletic, but taxonomically unnamed, clades comprising 28 perdicine species known as ‘francolins’ or fisante in South...

  3. The importance of adopting an integrative taxonomy framework in species delimitation: Response to Hunter et al. (2021)

    The importance of adopting an integrative taxonomy framework in species delimitation: Response to Hunter et al. (2021)

    The review by Hunter et al. (2021) on the delineation of certain francolin and spurfowl taxa as full species by Mandiwana-Neudani et al. (2019a, 2019b) appears to be largely orientated around their application of the Biological Species Concept (BSC). We...
