- 2005, T. B. Smith et al., “Putting process on the map”, in Andrew Purvis, John L. Gittleman, Thomas Brooks, editors, Conservation Biology 8: Phylogeny and Conservation, page 178:
- We investigated the differences in environmental selection pressures between ecotone and rainforest that could have driven the song divergence in little greenbuls, in particular the divergence in Fmin (Slabbekoorn & Smith 2002b).
- 2006, Ian Sinclair, Ian Davidson, Sasol Southern African Birds: A Photographic Guide, page 198:
- The commonest of the dull olive-green greenbuls, the Sombre Greenbul is most easily distinguished by its white eye; the race to the northeast is much yellower below and could readily be mistaken for a Yellow-bellied Greenbul were it not for its white eye.
- 2013, Philip Briggs, Andrew Roberts, Uganda, 7th edition, Bradt Travel Guides, page 56:
- Birdwatchers based in Africa's savanna belt will generally want to focus more on forest birds, but mostly on such common and iconic species as great blue turaco or black-and-white casqued hornbill rather than on glimpsing a selection of more localised but duller forest greenbuls.
