An important way to expand the network of weaver research in Africa is by expanding the PHOWN participation network. Three particular studies of interest are:

• Colony sizes of Thick-billed Weavers: core vs expanding range.
• Comparison of colony sizes of Southern Masked Weavers in arid and mesic regions.
• Variation in colony sizes of Yellow Weaver and Village Weaver in Africa.
