You can now view abstracts and/or comments on weaver references that featured in the Weaver News section since 2009 - see here. Below the list of weaver articles, is a tool to find weaver references in google scholar - you can easily select a species and the search is done without you needing to type the species name (if you want to search on variations of weaver names, you will need to type this in the google search bar).

The figure shows the number of weaver references published per year, from 1850 onwards as contained in my database. This includes peer reviewed papers as well as general articles (e.g. in bird club newsletters) and some grey literature (e.g. newspaper articles).
