Abstract:

Before the 1970s, quail were abundant in the Southeast, but the population has rapidly declined since then. A major study seeks to answer why this has happened. Changing land use, predation, natural fluctuations, and control by man of naturally occurring fires are seen as contributing factors in the decline.
