Africa - Birds and Birding: selected articles by Fitz staff and students

Some time ago, Africa Geographic gave us permission to post PDFs of the News from the FitzPatrick Institute pages from the popular bimonthly Africa - Birds & Birding on our website. Now, in addition to the 'Fitz News' pages, they have generously allowed us to post PDFs of selected articles contributed by Fitz staff and students. They are listed here chronologically (starting with the most recent volume) but you will also find links to them listed according to author (with links from the staff and student pages) and according to subject matter (with links from the research pages).

To find out more about the latest issue of Africa - Birds & Birding go directly to Africa Geographic Online where you'll also find information on back issues and how to order them.
