>> What the eye doesn't see: the prevalence of fraud in ornithology Andrew
Harrop, Martin Collinson and Tim Melling broach one of the thorniest topics
in birding. They suggest that there is a tendency to see examples of fraud
in ornithology as rare aberrations. Their paper outlines some known and
suspected historical examples of fraud, and argues that fraud of one kind or
another has occurred more or less consistently, if uncommonly, in
ornithology. Although most of the examples discussed are from Britain, it is
likely that similar examples could be found in the archives of many nations.
It is also likely that small-scale fraud continues today and is something
that the ornithological community should be aware of. In particular, this
has implications for the level of proof required by those assessing records
of rarities.
