Hi birders
A very rapid perusal of a print copy of today's copy of "The Australian"
mentioned that the taxon formerly known as the Heron Island Silvereye
(Zosterops lateralis chlorocephala) has just been bumped up to species
status by Kikkawa et al. in a paper published in the latest QOS
"Sunbird". It looks like we now have a species called the Capricornia
Whiteye (Z. chlorocephalus) - the only bird species endemic to the Great
Barrier Reef system. Nothing in the online "Aus" to post here. I'm
just wondering if any "Sunbird" subscribers could tell us more about the
basis on which this taxonomic decision has been made????????
