摘要:

Past studies of yellow-billed oxpeckersBuphagus africanusLinnaeus 1766 have shown that buffaloesSyncerus caffer(Sparrman 1779) are their preferred hosts. Yellow-billed oxpeckers were successfully introduced into the Matobo National Park, Zimbabwe, in 1975. In 1986, all the buffalo were removed from the park. The oxpecker population shifted their host selection onto other ungulates present in the park, and continued to breed successfully.
