Study Extent

Ornithology data for some parts of Malawi currently held at the Department of Museums and Monuments in Blantyre at Top Mandala Museum

Sampling

Digitize collections held by The Department of Museums and Monuments, individuals and other institutions and make it accessible to the public through national or international database. Most of the specimens were collected using opportunistic methods (on encountered basis) and some using Mist nets set within the sampling area while other using human observations

1. Digitize collections held by The Department of Museums and Monuments, individuals and other institutions and make it accessible to the public through national or international database. Most of the specimens were collected using opportunistic methods (on encountered basis) and some using Mist nets set within the sampling area while other using human observations
