Abstract
Craig, A. J. F. K. 1982. Breeding success of a Red Bishop colony. Ostrich 53982–188. In Natal, South Africa, breeding success of Red Bishops at the same colony in two successive seasons was very low. Heavy rainfall and predation were equally important sources of mortality in the first season, while predation alone was the major source of nest loss in the second season. The influence of predation on populations of breeding birds is discussed.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
