On Prerocles namaqua (Gmelin) in South West Africa : Sandgrouse - Short note / P. A. Clancey

By: Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Series: Madoqua, Vol. 11, No. 3, (1979) ; p. 261 - 265Publication details: Windhoek : Nature Conservation and Tourism Division, 1979, : John Meinert PrintingDescription: 5 pages : plate, map; 28 cmSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • PER 154 Madoqua
Summary: This enquiry confirms that the Namaqua sangrouse is a moderately polytype species of three races, all of which occur within the limits of South West Africa, two as endemics and the third as a non-breeding visitor during the cool, dry winter months from breeding grounds lying to the south and south-east of present limits. Variation is relatively well-marked, the races perhaps more clearly defidut in the females than in the males. This geographical variation follows a pattern type common to a whole range of xeric birds resident within the confines of the South West Arid District of Chapin
