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…

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…

The taxonomic status of Crimson-crested Turaco Menelikornis (leucotis) donaldsoni Open
White-cheeked Turaco Menelikornis (leucotis) leucotis and Crimson-crested Turaco M. (l.) donaldsoni have long been treated as conspecific. Because of the lack of data concerning their distribution and areas of potential geographical overla…
