Madagascar buttonquail are confined to Madagascar (Ogilvie-Grant, 1889). They have been introduced on Mauritius (since extinct), Reunion, and Iles Glorieuses (Johnsgard, 1991).
Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian (Native )
By consuming weed seeds, this buttonquail may aid in eliminating unwanted plants.
There are no known adverse affects of Madagascar buttonquail on humans.
Few records exist of populations from the eastern, western, or northern parts of Madagascar. However, since this bird lives in a wide variety of habitats, it is thought to be common.
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
During egg-laying, the female will walk about and utter a "pairing note" which becomes louder and louder.

We do not have information on lifespan/longevity for this species at this time.
Females' wings are 81 to 88 mm in length, while the males' wings are 72 to 82 mm long (Johnsgard, 1991). They weigh from 67 to 84 g. As with other buttonquail, the more colorful female has a black chin and throat, and there are rufous feathers covering the areas on the chest and breast just beyond the upper wings (Ogilvie-Grant, 1889; Johnsgard, 1991). The crown is brownish with small flecks of white, the forehead is barred in black with white, and the sides of the face are white tipped in black. Just below the beak, a white stripe extends down both sides of the throat. The back of the head is a dark gray, and the upper back and wings are blackish, barred in rufous, and edged in buff. The primary coverts are blackish-brown, edged in buff. The mid-wing coverts are rufous, flecked with black, and have irregular black and white spots mostly on the lower edge of the feather. The lower back, rump, and upper tail coverts are a brownish-gray with rufous mottling and wavy black bars. There may be terminal, marginal buff spots. The mid-chest, breast and abdomen are a lightish-gray to whitish color (Johnsgard, 1991).
The male is similar in coloration but lacks the chin and upper chest markings. Instead, his chin and mid-throat region are white, and his upper to mid-chest region are buff with black bars. In addition, his forehead feathers are edged in a wide margin of buff (Johnsgard, 1991).
Range mass: 67 to 84 g.
Sexual Dimorphism: female larger; sexes colored or patterned differently; female more colorful

All buttonquail are polyandrous.
Mating System: polyandrous
Breeding occurs in December and January. During egg-laying, the female will walk about and utter a "pairing note" which becomes louder and louder. The nest is a scrape on the ground. One nest was found to be constructed of moss with a 20 cm tunnel which led to the scrape on the ground. Another nest was found to have a tunnel of ribbon grass and moss 30 cm long. A clutch consists of two to four eggs which are 5 to 8 g in weight and 26.8 by 19.8 mm in length. While the female patrols the pair's territory, the male incubates the eggs for 13 to 16 days.
Breeding season: Breeding occurs in December and January.
Range eggs per season: 2 to 4.
Range time to hatching: 13 to 16 days.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous
While the female patrols the pair's territory, the male incubates the eggs for 13 to 16 days. Initially the male cares for the chicks, however, within a week the female also takes part in caring for the young.
Parental Investment: no parental involvement; pre-hatching/birth (Protecting: Male, Female); pre-weaning/fledging

Das Schwarzkehl-Laufhühnchen (Turnix nigricollis) ist ein auf einigen Inseln im Indischen Ozean vorkommender Vogel aus der Familie der Laufhühnchen (Turnicidae). Das Artepitheton basiert auf den lateinischen Worten niger für ‚schwarz‘ und collum für ‚Hals‘.
Schwarzkehl-Laufhühnchen erreichen eine Körperlänge von 13 bis 16 Zentimetern und ein Gewicht von 70 bis 72 Gramm bei den Männchen sowie von 59 bis 84 Gramm bei den Weibchen.[1] Sie ähneln in ihrem Aussehen einer Wachtel (Coturnix coturnix). Der Körper ist rundlich, der Hals kurz. Zwischen den Geschlechtern besteht bezüglich der Gefiederfarbe ein deutlicher Sexualdimorphismus. Die Weibchen haben eine schwarze Kehle und orangebraune Schulterfedern. Diese beiden Merkmale fehlen bei den Männchen. Das übrige Gefieder ist bei beiden Geschlechtern ähnlich. Auf der Mitte des Kopfes sowie an den Seiten des Scheitels bilden die Schaftstriche der Federn insgesamt fünf weiße Längsstreifen. Vom dunkelbraunen Rücken hebt sich eine weiße, aus Schaftstrichen gebildete Längszeichnung ab. Die graubraunen Flügeldecken und Schwungfedern sind mit einer aus rotbraunen und weißlichen Streifen gebildeten Musterung versehen. Brust und Bauch sind hellgrau, Beine und Füße weißgrau. Der Schnabel ist blaugrau gefärbt.
Das Schwarzkehl-Laufhühnchen kommt auf einigen Inseln im Indischen Ozean vor, dazu zählen Madagaskar mit umliegenden kleinen Inseln, Réunion und Juan de Nova. Auf Mauritius wurde es eingeführt, konnte dort jedoch keine stabilen Populationen bilden und ist inzwischen wieder verschwunden. Hauptlebensraum sind offenes Grasland, Savannen, trockene lichte Wälder und Zuckerrohrplantagen. Die Höhenverbreitung reicht vom Meeresspiegel bis auf maximal 2000 Meter.[1][2]
Die Vögel ernähren sich von Samen und Insekten. Die Nahrung suchen sie durch Scharren mit den Füßen am Erdboden, wobei sie paarweise oder in Gruppen von bis zu zwölf Tieren auftreten. Die Brutsaison fällt auf Madagaskar in die Monate August bis Februar, auf Réunion wurden Brutgeschäfte ganzjährig beobachtet. Die Paare leben monogam. Das Nest wird von beiden Geschlechtern in einer flachen Mulde am Boden angelegt, hat einen Innendurchmesser von ca. sieben Zentimetern, wird oftmals mit einer kleinen Überdachung versehen und mit drei bis fünf weißlichen oder rötlichen und braun, schwarz oder rot gesprenkelten Eiern bestückt, die vom Männchen in 13 bis 16 Tagen ausgebrütet werden. Verlassene Nester werden vom Weibchen zerstört. Die Küken sind Nestflüchter, bleiben noch etwa vier Wochen mit den Eltern zusammen und sind danach selbständig.[1]
Das Schwarzkehl-Laufhühnchen kommt in seinen Vorkommensgebieten verbreitet vor und folgt zuweilen in kultivierte Gebiete. Obwohl die Art auf Madagaskar bejagt wird, gilt sie als stabil und wird demzufolge von der Weltnaturschutzorganisation IUCN als 
„least concern = nicht gefährdet“ klassifiziert.[3][1]

The Madagascar buttonquail (Turnix nigricollis) is a species of bird in the buttonquail family, Turnicidae, that is endemic to Madagascar and a few small islands nearby. It is a ground-dwelling species with an unusual breeding biology in which the sexual dimorphism is reversed, with female being more brightly coloured than the male and it is the male that incubates the eggs and mainly cares for the young.
The Madagascar buttonquail was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it with grouse like birds in the genus Tetrao and coined the binomial name Tetrao nigricollis.[2] Gmelin based his description on the earlier accounts by the French naturalists Mathurin Jacques Brisson and Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.[3][4][5] The Madagascar buttonquail is now placed in the genus Turnix that was introduced in 1791 by French naturalist in Pierre Bonnaterre.[6][7] The genus name is an abbreviation of the genus Coturnix. The specific epithet combines the Latin niger meaning "black" with Modern Latin collis meaning "-necked".[8] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[7]
The Madagascar buttonquail is a stocky bird with a small head and short legs and tail. Both sexes are cryptically coloured; the male has a light brown head with black and white streaking and mottling, and a greyish-brown back and wings with fine dark barring and pale-edged feathers, the barring on the outer scapulars being bolder. The tail is greyish-brown with fine barring. The chin and throat are whitish, the breast cinnamon-buff with dark barring and the belly whitish. The bill is bluish-grey, the irises white or pale grey and the legs greyish. The female is more brightly coloured. The top of the head is blackish and the mantle brownish-grey with some dark barring and cinnamon feather-edges, interspersed with some plain grey-brown feathers, giving a chequer-board effect. There is a white moustachial stripe below which the chin and upper throat form a black bib. The breast is cinnamon-pink and the belly grey with faint barring. The juvenile resembles the male but is somewhat darker and more heavily spotted.[9]
This buttonquail is endemic to the island of Madagascar and is present over most of the island in suitable habitat. It is found in grassland, open woodland, clearings, glades, the edges of forests, sandy and bushy locations, weedy places and cultivated areas, especially where cassava is grown.[9] It has been introduced to Mauritius, where it is now likely extinct and is present on Réunion and the Glorioso Islands, although it is unclear whether it is native there.[9]
The species is often seen alone or in small groups of up to four birds. If startled it may crouch to avoid detection, or may run away, but seldom flies unless danger is very close. Even then, it flies with rapid wingbeats for only a short distance. It forages by scratching in the plant litter like a chicken, leaving distinctive circular depressions. It mainly feeds on invertebrates and has a particular liking for termite larvae. One individual was found to have eaten snails, cockroaches, beetles, flies, bugs and caterpillars. It may also eat seeds.[9]
As with other members of this family, the female plays the more active role in the breeding season, defending a territory and making vocalisations to attract a male. The nest is built in a slight depression on the ground often concealed in a grass tussock or thick vegetation. It is built by both birds from dried grasses and stems, dead leaves and sometimes feathers. It may be partially roofed with dead leaves and sometimes is approached by a covered runway. A clutch of about four, heavily blotched eggs is laid. The male incubates these for about a fortnight, possibly being relieved by the female occasionally; he is also responsible for the care of the young, feeding them for the first week from his bill before they start to peck food from the ground.[9] The female is at first aggressive towards the chicks and the male defends them, but later the female takes on more of a caring role. The chicks become independent by the fifth week and may be driven away by the parents after this.[9]
The Madagascar buttonquail is a common bird in the north, west and south of the island but is less common in the central and eastern areas. Its total area of occupancy is estimated to be about 590,000 km2 (227,800 sq mi). While the species is a popular food source in many communities,[10] the population trend is believed to be stable, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "least concern".[1]

El torillo malgache (Turnix nigricollis)[2] es una especie de ave caradriforme de la familia Turnicidae endémica de Madagascar.
El torillo malgache mide entre 14 y 16 cm de largo.[3] Presenta un marcado dimorfismo sexual. Las hembras son ligeramente más grandes que los machos. El plumaje de los machos tiene las partes superiores de color marrón salpicado con vetas claras y pardas más oscuras mientras que sus partes inferiores son de color anteado con vetas pardas. Su cabeza es marrón con motas claras, siendo sus listas superciliares más claras y su garganta anteada. Su pico es gris y el iris de sus ojos amarillo. Las hembras tienen la cabeza gris con motas blancas con bigoteras también blancas, y la garganta y el pecho negros.
Es una especie de hábitos terrestres que suele encontrarse en las sabanas y los bosques no demasiado densos de Madagascar, desde el nivel del mar hasta los 1900 metros de altitud.[3]
La especie se ve a menudo sola o en pequeños grupos de hasta cuatro aves. Si se asusta, puede agacharse para evitar ser detectado o puede huir, pero rara vez vuela a menos que el peligro esté muy cerca. Incluso entonces, vuela con rápidos aleteos solo por una corta distancia. Se alimenta rascando la hojarasca como un pollo , dejando depresiones circulares distintivas. Se alimenta principalmente de invertebrados y tiene un gusto particular por las larvas de termitas . Se encontró que un individuo había comido caracoles , cucarachas , escarabajos , moscas , insectos y orugas . También puede comer semillas.
Al igual que con otros miembros de esta familia, la hembra juega el papel más activo en la temporada de reproducción, defendiendo un territorio y emitiendo vocalizaciones para atraer a un macho. El nido está construido en una ligera depresión en el suelo, a menudo oculto en una mata de hierba o una espesa vegetación. Ambos pájaros lo construyen a partir de pastos y tallos secos, hojas muertas y, a veces, plumas. Puede estar parcialmente techado con hojas muertas y, a veces, se accede a él por una pista cubierta. Se pone una nidada de unos cuatro huevos muy manchados. El macho los incuba durante una quincena, posiblemente siendo relevado por la hembra de vez en cuando; también es responsable del cuidado de las crías, alimentándolas durante la primera semana desde su pico antes de que empiecen a picotear la comida del suelo. La hembra es al principio agresiva con los polluelos y el macho los defiende, pero luego la hembra asume un papel más de cuidado. Los polluelos se vuelven independientes a la quinta semana y los padres pueden alejarlos después de esto.[4]
