Thrilled to share my first publication in Scientific Reports!

Our study focused on comparing morphometric responses of two congeneric species, the native Cape and the non-native house sparrows to increased urbanisation in SA.

@sageknaidoo Well done @sageknaidoo on your first paper! Always great to work with @DanC_eco! Thanks to all the Citizen Scientists who contribute such valuable data. #SAFRING

[avian.ces.project @aviancesproject]

Had a great opportunity to introduce #theACESproject to some brilliant and bright young minds from the Jeppe Boys Wilderness Club!

We hope to have sparked a little bit more of an interest and curiosity in the #culturalvalue of #birds in South Africa.

Everyone can able to assist in research in some way or form through #citizenscience. #theacesproject was designed to harness citizen #culturalvalues of #birds in their environments

Assist us by answering our survey:

[avian.ces.project @aviancesproject]

The ACES project sets out to determine how SA residents perceive and value different #birds.

While there are many birds across our country and the different provinces, we are currently focused on 42 species in four cities - find links to surveys on our page and in our bio!

For this research, surveys are being used to collect data.

There are four surveys, one for JHB, CPT, DBN, and Bloem - all you need to do is answer the one survey applicable to where you live. Survey links can be found in bio, on my page, or on @aviancesproject

Thank you!

[Sage K. Naidoo @sageknaidoo]

My Master's #citizenscience research project has officially launched!

The ACES project (@aviancesproject) will focus on the perceptions of South African residents of birds in their environments.
