Abstract
Craig A. J. F. K. 1983. Moult in southern Africa passerine birds: a review. Ostrich 54:220-237. In the most recent checklist 398 passerine species are recorded for southern Africa. This paper lists information on the moult of 114 species, of which 27 are Palaearctic migrants, or birds for which there are data from European populations only. For 65 additional species data of uncertain relevance to southern African populations are included in appendices. There is much interspecific variation in both pattern and timing, even between members of the same family and genus. Aspects requiring special attention in future studies are discussed.This publication has 49 references indexed in Scilit:
