Thanks John,
Does that mean the Australian Boobook and the Tasmanian Boobook are
separate species?

Hi all,
Australia does have a new species!  It's the Australian Boobook, Ninox
boobook, whose DNA shows it to be a sister-clade to the Barking Owl, Ninox
connivens, and a separate species from the Morepork Ninox
novaeseelandiae.
The Tasmanian form does group with the New Zealand taxon.
