Evaluating the impact of climate change on mountaintop endemic bird species in the Ethiopian highlands: insights from moorland francolin (Scleroptila psilolaema) Open
Anthropogenic climate change poses a profound threat to global biodiversity, particularly to the unique flora and fauna of highland ecosystems within biodiversity hotspots. We used ensemble species distribution modeling to assess the curre…

Nesting behavior, egg morphology, and breeding biology of Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia Open
This study aims to understand the life history of the endemic Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) including reproductive, behavioral, and spatio-temporal variability of traits for the first time in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopi…

A consolidated checklist and new avifaunal records for southern Tigray, Ethiopia Open
We recorded 17 bird taxa new for southern Tigray across a mosaic of habitats. Some of these records document substantial geographical extensions of previously known ranges. Many are Acacia woodland and bushland species but were documented …

Dynamic occupancy modeling of a cryptic ground-dwelling pheasant species in the Upper Blue Nile Basin in Ethiopia Open
Modeling the occupancy of species in the context of habitat components is a crucial step to deliver an appropriate conservation strategy. Accounting for imperfect detection in occupancy models helps to conclude on true species distribution…

Occupancy of the Ethiopian endemic Moorland Francolin in pristine and degraded Afroalpine biome using a camera trap approach Open
Occupancy modeling is an essential tool for understanding species‐habitat associations, thereby helping to plan the conservation of rare and threatened wildlife species. The conservation status and ecology of several avian species, particu…

<b>The ecology of Harwood’s Francolin <i>Pternistis harwoodi</i> (Aves: Galliformes: Phasianidae) at Merhabete District, central highlands of Ethiopia: implications for conservation</b> Open
This paper investigates the abundance, density and habitat preference of Harwood’s Francolin, and considers threats posed to this species at Merhabete District, Ethiopia. A total of 20 line transects ranging from 0.5–1.2 km, each 150–400 m…
