	African Collared Dove (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The African Collared Dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea) is a small dove found in Africa in the arid region south of the Sahara.
		The African Collared Dove is the species thought to be the wild ancestor of the domestic Barbary Dove, though some suggest the Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) may also have been involved.
		The African Collared Dove is able to hybridise with the Barbary Dove, and it is thought that the increase in the range of colours of Barbary Doves available that occurred in the later twentieth century was the result of the importation of African Collared Doves into the United States for interbreeding.

	THE BOWING DISPLAY OF PIGEONS IN REFERENCE TO PHYLOGENY
		Pigeon (Ducula bico.lor) and the Black-naped Fruit Dove (Ptilinopus melanospila) but in these cases I am not certain whether the movements were the true homologues of the bowing display, although I think it possible.
		Judging by the readiness with which these forms often interbreed in captivity it seems probable that their color differences are also negligible to avian eyes and that, in a wild state, other factors prevent interspecific pairing, for one thing, probably a wider and freer opportunity for the selection of mates.
		IN his discussion of the relationships of the American ground doves Johnston (1961: 375) states that the "bow-coo" (bowing display) "is the only one of the series of acts [of courtship and pair formation] that is species-specific.
