From the text (p.460) ... 'Predation as it relates to the bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) has been a subject of mutual interest to both arthors in their respective studies of this species. Expecially intriguing and difficult to explain have been the apparent difference in influence of predation on bobwhite population levels at opposite extremes of its geographic range. Although much of the work we have done has not been along parallel lines, some of the differences in our findings may nevertheless be worthy of review.'
