Priorities for Future Research
Introduction
Taxonomy
The appropriate taxonomy of this species should be elucidated in detail.
Ecological Studies
Almost no facets of O. m. tempestatis biology and habitat requirements are known, and elucidating these should be considered a priority.
Monitoring
Establishing relative densities of the O. magicus group in different habitats to ascertain their response to habitat degradation should also be considered a research priority.
