dc.description.abstract | Knowledge of the distribution and ecology of East African nightjars is, to a large extent, unknown. We collected ecological information on the diversity and microhabitat use of nightjars in Nechisar National Park in January 2015 by executing field captures and observations. We also attempted to find a live specimen of the Nechisar Nightjar Caprimulgus solala. During the course of 18 nights we observed five nightjar species, captured 49 individuals and observed that nightjars were closely associated with protective landscape elements. In spite of the intensity of our survey, we were not able to find a living specimen of the Nechisar Nightjar, which could indicate the species is either migratory or extinct. | - |
dc.description.abstract | Diversité des Engoulevents et micro-habitats utilisés au sein du Parc National Nechisar, Ethiopie La distribution et l’écologie des Engoulevents d’Afrique de l’Est sont en grande partie inconnues. Nous avons collecté des informations écologiques sur la diversité et les micro-habitats utilisés par les Engoulevents au sein du Parc National Nechisar en Janvier 2015 en effectuant des captures et des observations sur le terrain. Nous avons également tenté de trouver un spécimen vivant d’Engoulevent du Nechisar Caprimulgus solala. Au cours de 18 nuits, nous avons observé cinq espèces d’Engoulevents, capturé 49 individus et noté que les Engoulevents étaient fortement associés à des éléments protégés du paysage. En dépit de l’intensité de nos recherches, nous n’avons pas trouvé d’Engoulevent du Nechisar ce qui pourrait indiquer que cette espèce est soit migrante soit éteinte. | - |
