Priorities for Future Research

Introduction

Priorities include research into the extent of hybridization, detailed demographics, long-term population trends, molt, and details of reproduction.  Comparative ecological studies of Gray-crowned Palm-Tanager with its sister-species, Black-crowned Palm-Tanager, could provide valuable insight into the factors driving speciation on medium-sized islands.
