Citizen science projects have risen to the forefront of large dataset collection efforts globally, with several local projects helping us unpack long-term trends for species in southern Africa. A long-term monitoring project on African Oystercatcher Haematopus moquini breeding success in parts of the Garden Route on the south coast, conducted by the Lakes Bird Club, enables us to determine whether conservation efforts are positively influencing the species there. Since the onset of the study in 1997/1998, there has been a steady increase in the number of breeding pairs at Knysna and Sedgefield, but not at Brenton-on-Sea. A similar increase in hatching success is recorded, with an overall increase in the number of fledglings per adult pair over the area throughout the study. Collectively, this indicates that some local and national conservation efforts, such as the beach driving ban and awareness campaigns like #ShareTheShores, have been successful, leading to positive trends in these parameters for this species. This article highlights the usefulness of long-term datasets for corroborating outcomes from other large datasets, like the Southern African Bird Atlas Project 2.Études à long terme grâce aux citoyens scientifiques: 24 ans de données sur le succès de la reproduction de l’Huîtrier de Moquin Haematopus moquini sur la Garden Route, Sud AfrikaLes ensembles de données à long-terme sur le succès de la reproduction des oiseaux se reproduisant sur les plages d’Afrique australe sont rares. Au niveau mondial, les projets de science citoyenne se sont hissés au premier plan de la collecte de données à grande échelle, avec plusieurs projets locaux permettant identifier les tendances à long terme pour des espèces d’Afrique australe. Un projet de suivi à long terme du succès de la reproduction de l’Huîtrier de Moquin Haematopus moquini dans certaines parties de la Garden Route, mené par le Lakes Bird Club, nous permet de déterminer si les efforts de conservation ont une influence positive sur l’espèce. Depuis le début de l’étude en 1997/1998, il y a eu une augmentation constante du nombre de couples reproducteurs à Knysna et Sedgefield, mais pas à Brenton-on-Sea. Une augmentation similaire du taux d’éclosion et du succès de la reproduction est enregistrée, avec une augmentation globale du nombre de jeunes par couple au cours de la période de l’étude. Collectivement, cela indique que les efforts de conservation locaux et nationaux, tels que l’interdiction de conduire sur les plages et les campagnes de sensibilisation comme #ShareTheShores, ont bien succédé, conduisant à des tendances positives dans ces paramètres de la reproduction de l’espèce.

In particular, the standard Underhill–Zucchini models for moult phenology are vulnerable to imperfect moult data arising, for example, from non-random sampling and/or the misclassification of non-moulting birds. Similarly, inference is challenging for species with dispersed moult periods (population-level moult extending beyond an annual cycle). Using ringing data from Cape Weavers Ploceus capensis and SAFRING data for Cape Sugarbirds Promerops cafer, we demonstrate how recent extensions to the Underhill–Zucchini framework can help the robust estimation of moult parameters in such situations, in particular when within-season recapture data is available.Une démonstration de la valeur des données de recapture pour informer les modèles de phénologie de la mue pour les espèces avec des données de mue imparfaitesLes modèles Underhill–Zucchini ont révolutionné l’étude de la mue dans le contexte des cycles annuels des oiseaux, mais comme pour tous les modèles statistiques, les déductions sont vulnérables aux violations des présupposés du modèle.

Most bird species that occur in this habitat are either drawn from adjacent forests or woodlands or are marine and piscivorous species. Bird communities of East and southern African mangroves, along the coast from the northern shores of the Red Sea to the Mngazana Estuary in South Africa, are known mainly from a few vegetation studies. Mangrove bird communities in West and Central Africa are better studied, and are listed in this review, together with notes on habitat use within the mangroves. No African bird species are restricted to mangroves, but four species are strongly associated with mangroves in West and Central Africa. These mangrove forests also provide space for migrant warblers (of families Acrocephalidae, Phylloscopidae and Sylviidae), possibly because they lack similar-sized species that are resident in other African forest types. Although African mangroves appear to lack a distinctive avifauna, their possible values as foraging sites for resident coastal and forest birds and as refugia for migrating warblers remain to be documented.Assemblages d’espèces d’oiseaux dans les forêts de mangrove africainesLes forêts de mangroves africaines sont menacées par l’exploitation et le changement climatique. La plupart des espèces d’oiseaux présentes dans cet habitat proviennent des forêts ou des zones boisées adjacentes ou sont des espèces marines et piscivores. Les communautés d’oiseaux des mangroves d’Afrique de l’Est et d’Afrique australe, le long de la côte, depuis les rives septentrionales de la mer Rouge jusqu’à l’estuaire de Mngazana en Afrique du Sud, sont connues principalement grâce à quelques études sur la végétation. Les communautés d’oiseaux des mangroves d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’Afrique centrale sont mieux étudiées et sont répertoriées dans cette étude, avec des notes sur l’utilisation de l’habitat dans les mangroves. Aucune espèce d’oiseau africain ne se limite aux mangroves, mais quatre espèces sont fortement associées aux mangroves d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’Afrique centrale. Ces forêts de mangroves offrent également de l’espace aux fauvettes migratrices (Acrocephalidae, Phylloscopidae, Sylviidae), peut-être parce qu’elles manquent d’espèces de taille similaire qui sont présentes dans d’autres types de forêts africaines. Bien que les mangroves africaines semblent dépourvues d’une avifaune distincte, leur valeur éventuelle en tant que sites d’alimentation pour les oiseaux côtiers et forestiers résidents et en tant que refuges pour les fauvettes migratrices reste à documenter.Keywords: AcrocephalidaeAvicenniaLaguncularia racemosamigrant warblersPhylloscopidaeRhizophoraSylviidae","PeriodicalId":54655,"journal":{"name":"Ostrich","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their annual cycle has two components: breeding and moult. The Underhill–Zucchini model estimated a primary moult duration of 154 days, and mean start and completion dates of 1 April and 2 September. Most eggs (90%) are laid between mid-November and mid-February; thus, on average, oystercatchers have 2–3 months between moult completion and egg laying. The completion date confirms an overlap between moult and the period of post-fledging dependence of juveniles on their parents. The 154-day primary moult duration spreads the energetic demands of feather production to cope with this overlap and with the fact that primary moult extends through winter when storms make intertidal areas inaccessible for days. There are approximately 50 quantitative studies of primary moult for migrant waders (suborder Charadrii); this is the third for a resident species. The other two species of migrant waders studied are in south-eastern Australia: the Hooded Dotterel Thinornis cucullatus and Sooty Oystercatcher Haematopus fuliginosus. The Hooded Dotterel has one of the longest estimated moult durations (203 days) and its moult and breeding overlap. The annual schedules for the Sooty Oystercatcher and African Oystercatcher are similar, as is the estimated moult duration: 149 and 154 days, respectively. Preliminary studies of the primary moult of the Eurasian Oystercatcher H. ostralegus indicate the duration to be 100 days, which is two-thirds that of the two sedentary oystercatchers. This is likely a consequence of Eurasian Oystercatchers having migration and harsh winter conditions as additional components of their annual cycle, and thus a limited period for primary moult. This study was based largely on photographic records of African Oystercatchers in flight, with contributions by citizen scientists. We make two key conclusions: the need for more studies of the moult strategies of the Haematopidae and resident waders; and digital photography of free-ranging birds can be used to study primary moult.La mue primaire dans le cycle annuel de l’Huîtrier de Moquin Haematopus moquiniL’Huîtrier de Moquin Haematopus moquini est une espèce sédentaire qui s’alimente dans les zones intertidales et dont l’aire de répartition est limitée à la Namibie et à l’Afrique du Sud. Le calendrier annuel comporte deux composantes : la reproduction et la mue. Le modèle de mue Underhill–Zucchini a estimé la durée de la mue primaire à 154 jours, et les dates moyennes de début et de fin de la mue au 1er avril et au 2 septembre. La plupart des oeufs (90%) sont pondus entre mi-novembre et mi-février; ainsi, en moyenne, les huîtriers ont deux à trois mois entre la fin de la mue et la ponte.

We scored the moult of 662 White-capped/Shy Albatrosses Thalassarche steadi/cauta, using birds that had been killed by longline fisheries off South Africa. Most adults and immatures alternated replacing the outer primaries (phase 1) and inner primaries (phase 2), but there was considerable variation among adults, with 0–10 primaries replaced each moult cycle. Birds in phase 1 moult replaced fewer primaries than birds in phase 2, but the proportion by mass was similar. Adults replaced more primaries than immatures as there was a disproportionate number of adults in phase 2 moult (82%), which might indicate that most adults off South Africa are in their first year after a successful breeding attempt, but a similar bias occurred among beached birds from New Zealand and Australia. The outer primaries were usually replaced outwards from P8, but the replacement sequence was more variable among the inner primaries. Secondary moult overlapped with primary moult, but not all secondaries were moulted each year. Adults had more active moult centres and replaced more secondaries at once than immatures. Tail moult started after primary moult, with 1–11 feathers growing from 1–6 active centres. Some birds replaced their rectrices in pairs, with often 2 or 3 pairs moulting at once, but others replaced alternate feathers or almost all rectrices at once. A few birds exhibited intense wing moult, but the norm was to replace only 1 or 2 primaries and 1–6 secondaries at once. Age- and sex-related differences in moult intensity presumably result from different time constraints. Adult White-capped/Shy Albatrosses take a year off between successful breeding attempts, allowing time for a more protracted moult. However, we cannot explain the intense moult in some immatures. Our findings support recent studies showing that albatross flight feather moult patterns are more varied than previously reported.Schéma et intensité de la mue chez l’Albatros à cape blanche Thalassarche steadi/cautaLes albatros ne remplacent généralement qu’un sous-ensemble de plumes de vol à chaque cycle de mue annuel.

Among these were 23 new species records for Angola, most of which were either sound recorded or photographed as evidence. A further 11 species were new to Cabinda but had previously been recorded elsewhere in Angola, and an additional 34 species had previously been recorded fewer than ten times from Angola.
