Abstract

Chukar Partridges Alectoris chukar were released at a few localities in South Africa and Zimbabwe with the aim of establishing viable populations that could contribute to a larger resource available to the ‘wing-shooting’ fraternity. Releases and introductions are poorly documented, and most information on where and when releases were done are not supported by references in the literature. None of the released Chukar Partridges survived to establish viable breeding populations lasting more than two years, apart from the introduction on Robben Island in the Western Cape in 1964. Predation, and perhaps haematozoan parasites, have possibly played a role in limiting the establishment of Chukar Partridges in southern Africa.

Chukar Partridge Alectoris Chukar引入南部非洲

Chukar Partridges Alectoris Chukar在南非和津巴布韦的一些地方被释放，目的是建立有活力的种群，为“翼射”兄弟会提供更大的资源。发布和介绍的文件记录不足，关于发布地点和时间的大多数信息都没有文献中的参考文献支持。除了1964年在西开普省罗本岛引入外，没有一只被放生的丘卡鹧鸪存活下来，建立了持续两年以上的繁殖种群。捕食，也许还有寄生虫，可能在限制Chukar Partridges在南部非洲的建立方面发挥了作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
