Hi birders,
Following is my analysis of the splits that are supported by IOC but not by
Christidis and Boles:
Antipodean Albatross (split from Wandering Albatross)
Northern Royal Albatross (split from Royal Albatross - and Royal Albatross
renamed Southern Royal Albatross)
Campbell Albatross (split from Black-browed Albatross)
Salvin's Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Chatham Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (split from Yellow-nosed Albatross - and
Yellow-nosed Albatross renamed Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross)
Western Grasswren (split from Thick-billed Grasswren)
Hornbill Friarbird (split from Helmeted Friarbird)
Swan River Honeyeater (split from White-naped Honeyeater)
And the following are proposed splits, I believe:
Western Quail-thrush (split from Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush)
Nullabor Quail-thrush (split from Cinnamon Quail-thrush)
Western Shrike-tit (split from Crested Shrike-tit)
Can anyone with more taxonomic experience than me please confirm these
splits? Have I missed any splits that anyone knows about? Also, are there
any lumps under IOC?
