Factors affecting habitat separation in the pallid flycatcher Melaenornis pallidus and Marico flycatcher Melaenornis mariquensis

Factors affecting habitat separation in Pallid Flycatchers Melaenornis pallidus and Marico Flycatchers Melaenornis mariquensis were studied from June 1980 to June 1982 at the Nylsvley Nature Reserve in the central Transvaal. The main emphasis of the study, which is divided into two sections, was to determine the effect of habitat and resource conditions on the flycatchers' foraging behaviour (Section I) and other aspects of their ecologies (Section II) with the aim of evaluating the relative importance of these effects in maintaining habitat separation between the two species.
