Sadly Emu has become just another avenue for prospective scientists to build
their careers by publishing socio-biology papers, and widening the scope away
from Australia was I think a very bad idea, one of the reasons I am not going
to resubscribe from 2017. Ditto for Ibis in the UK where the BOU has been taken
over by career bureaucrats and some of the founding motivations such as
reviewing the British List are no longer considered worthwhile. The more
general readership has been progressively excluded in both publications as
statistics and socio-biology take over everything. Still, the money I save can
go to some of the more toothsome bird books now emerging.
