TL;DR: Evaluated phylogenetic relationships within the ecologically diverse genus Coua and the placement of Coua among major cuckoo lineages indicated, with strong support, that the hoatzin is outside of Cuculidae.
42 citations
TL;DR: A reconnaissance of the island of Ile Sainte Marie, Madagascar, was conducted in 1991 to determine the condition of the remaining forests and the species of birds occurring on the island as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Chouteau et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the foraging ecology of Coquerel's Coua ( Coua coquereli ) and giant coua (Coua gigas ), which occur in the dry forest in west Madagascar.

TL;DR: The response of two endemic terrestrial birds living in the dry forest of Madagascar is studied and how Coquerel's coua could be used as umbrella species for the endangered mesite is considered.
14 citations
TL;DR: The Red-capped Coua took food on trails, relatively open areas in the forest, more frequently and more efficiently than Coquerel's Coua and differed slightly in feeding technique.
Abstract: This study compares the habitat use by three species of couas, the Crested Coua Coua cristata, Coquerel's Coua C. coquereli and the Red-capped Coua C. rujiceps, in a dry forest at Ampijoroa, western Madagascar. The Crested Coua used higher layers (> 5 m) exclusively. Both Coquerel's and the Red-capped Coua stayed mainly on the ground, but the former used middle layers (1–5 m) for inactive behaviour (including resting, preening and basking) and whistling more frequently than did the Red-capped Coua. Both Coquerel's and the Red-capped Coua foraged almost exclusively on the ground but differed slightly in feeding technique. The Red-capped Coua took food on trails, relatively open areas in the forest, more frequently and more efficiently than Coquerel's Coua.
