Emu, Ostrich and Southern Hemisphere [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Whitworth, Benjamin - BRS" <>]

I wonder where this mystical southern hemisphere decision-making body is located. I think it is a safe bet to assume it is somewhere in Australia. 'Ostrich' is also published in southern hemisphere (S Af) and focuses on birds in this hemisphere.

 

Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology

 Ostrich is an international journal that publishes papers in the general field of ornithology in sub-Saharan Africa and its islands. The results of studies on the behaviour, biology, breeding, ecology, migrations and movements, and systematics of birds are published. http://www.ajol.info/journal_index.php?jid=117

Of interest to some...this from a CSIRO Publishing email. Robin

The Emu flies into Cyberspace 

Birds Australia has
created a complete
 digital archive of Emu – 
Austral Ornithology, back to the
first issue in 1901 – an invaluable resource for all those interested in
Australian birds and the history and social significance of ornithology in this
unique environment. 

Until now, Emu has only ever been
available to those lucky enough to be able to mine reference library archives or
to have their own set of bound volumes. The opening up of the digital archive
means ornithologists around the world will be able to access a wealth of
scientific information on the unique birdlife of the region, as well as stories
of social significance from early expeditions and meetings of 
the Royal
Australian Ornithologists’ Union. 

The archive offers insights into the
development of a conservation consciousness in Australia, rare sightings of
endangered and some 
now extinct species, observations by early field
naturalists of the effects of fire, floods and drought, as well as the changing
nature of ornithological research and the social history of bird watching in the
region. 

Forty-seven volunteers from Birds Australia’s extraordinary and
dedicated volunteer network, led by Stephen Garnett, have spent five years
collating paper archive copies and scanning and formatting the 8851 articles
published since 1901.

Emu, the premier journal for
ornithological research and reviews in the Southern Hemisphere is published by
CSIRO PUBLISHING on behalf of Birds Australia. 

Subscription and
online access to Emu is available to individuals through  and to
libraries and interested institutions from m("csiro.au","publishing.sales");">CSIRO m("csiro.au","publishing.sales");">PUBLISHING. 

Selected articles
of historical significance will be available free of charge throughout 2008,
and are accessible from the Emu website.
