| Description | Etho-ecological information on the Natal (Francolinus natalensis) and the Swainson’s francolin (F. swainsoni) was obtained in the Willem Pretorius Game Reserve, Orange Free State, for management purposes. Although captures of the two francolin species suggest population structures with unbalanced age and sex ratios, the phenomenon should perhaps be attributed to differential dominance at the constant food supply (cages with bait). Apart from the tail length of the Swainson’s francolin, the body dimensions of immatures are generally smaller than those of adults. Etoëkologiese inligting van die bosveldfisant (Francolinus swainsoni,) en die Natalse fisant (F. natalensis) is vir bestuursdoeleindes in die Willem Pretoriuswildtuin, Oranje-Vrystaat, ingewin. Hoewel vangste van die onderskeie fisantsoorte op bevolkingstrukture met ongebalanseerde geslags- en ouderdomsverhoudings dui, kan die verskynsel eerder aan differensiële dominansie by konstante voedselbronne (vanghokke met lokaas) toegeskryf word. Afgesien van die stertlengte by bosveldfisante, is die liggaamsafmetings van onvolwasse fisante deurgaans kleiner as dié van volwassenes. | |
