A key paper on the extension of QDGC is under preparation and will probably be presented a bit later this year. The paper will focus on describing historical use of QDGC as presented by the Avian Demography Unit at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Furthermore the paper will describe an extension of the QDGC which is suitable for global use. In the meantime I would encourage reading up on articles using the original QDGC. This article represents a short list.
