The phylogenetics and evolution of Africa's Larks (Alaudidae)
… used to generate a robust phylogeny ofthe family Alaudidae. The former analysis included 55 species and the latter 25. These data were also combined to construct a combined evidence phylogeny (Chapter 7). Within the family, several genera recognised by more traditional taxonomies are polyphyletic, …

Where birds are rare or fill the air : the protection of the endemic and the nomadic avifaunas of the Karoo
… an unusually high species richness of larks (Alaudidae) compared with other biomes. The Succulent and Nama-Karoo have stochastically low annual rainfall and generally low above-ground primary production. Rainfall is often highly localized and varies annually in amount and timing. The …

Population dynamics and population genetics of the Critically Endangered Raso lark: implications for conservation
The Raso lark is a Critically Endangered bird endemic to the islet of Raso, Cape Verde. This thesis investigates two phenomena that particularly put the species at risk: its extreme fluctuations in population size, and its potentially very low genetic diversity arising from small population size …
