DESCRIPTION:The Ethiopian bush-crow and white-tailed swallow occupy a rest
 ricted-range in the Borana Zone of Ethiopia\, inhabiting little more than 
 6\,000km sq. of unremarkable Acacia grassland. The bush-crow's range is ac
 curately described by a modelled climate envelope of cooler\, drier condit
 ions than the surrounding land. The swallow's range is less well defined\,
  but it's known distribution roughly matches the bush-crow's bubble. I am 
 investigating the drivers of their range-restriction\, using fine-scale te
 mperature and on the ground habitat data to model their distributions\, an
 d investigating the effects of temperature on the swallow's nesting succes
 s and the bush-crow's foraging behaviour. In the face of impending climati
 c change\, understanding their complex and unusual biology may provide the
  key to unlocking their requirements for long-term survival in their clima
 tic lifeboat in southern Ethiopia.
