Subject: [birdswa] Western Whistler added to IOC proposed splits
Congratulations Mark and Steve – you just had a species named in honour of your
twitchathon team’s win! Western Whistler P. occidentalis added to IOC proposed
splits yesterday after WA forms of Golden Whistler outed as a cryptic species
in recent paper by Joseph et al (abstract here:
http://mapress.com/zootaxa/2014/f/z03900p300f.pdf ) following a lot of other
work on the whole superspecies complex throughout the region.
The big question will be, is this a new WA endemic? – there appears to be
records just over the WA-SA border in bird data etc.
Martin
