Jones, J.M.Pemberton and R.A. Cheke ... A paper describing DNA studies of quelea in southern Africa providing evidence that they are one interbreeding population and can be modelled as such. (Dall-Molec.pdf)

Portable Document Format (3) Methods for ageing juvenile Red-billed Queleas, Quelea quelea, and their potential for the detection of juvenile dispersal patterns. - P.J. Jones, C.C.H. Elliott & R.A. Cheke ... A paper describing how, by examining young bird moult, it is possible to classify the ages of juvenile red-billed quelea to assist in detecting the immigration of young birds.
