Angus,
I will take a stab at it. " A study of honeyeaters of the family
Meliphagidae highlights the influence of geographic barriers which
effect their distribution geographically and over time in the monsoon
areas of Oz" or words to that effect". But then being an uneducated
oik, I am probably wrong.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

The beauty of Birding Aus is its egalitarianism and the little peep we

following case the insight is obscured by my ignorance. Every
speciality evolves its' own language and terminology, but I am a bit
bluffed by the the title of the paper referred to in the second last
(penultimate) paragraph of Bruce's (Wedderburn Birding) post on White-
naped Honeyeaters, i.e.
"Toon, A., J.M. Hughes, and L. Joseph (2010), Multilocus analysis of
honeyeaters (Aves: Meliphagidae) highlights spatio-temporal
heterogeneity in
the influence of biogeographic barriers in the Australian monsoonal
zone,
Mol. Ecol. 19, 2980-2994. See
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04730.x/abstract
"
I think I can have a good stab at the first and last underlined term
(my underlining), but the second has me bluffed - their interplay is
consequently a little baffling. Not surprisingly the terms do not
appear in standard dictionaries.
Could someone please have a stab at a translation (or elucidation) of
the title - or what, in essence, the article is about.
I did look at the abstract, but that raises even more problems with my
ignorance.
Grateful for any enlightenment.
