What is the presently accepted scientific
definition of the word "endemic" when applied to (Australian) bird
species? I have read of several variations recently and am confused - found only
in that country, breeds only in that country, originally (when?) found only in
that country!!
Also, where do I locate the presently accepted
list of Australian endemics?
Finally, what is the best source to read about the original
"discoverers" of Australian species - people other than Gould, like
Latham, Vieillot, Temminck et al?
