Hi Friends,
I have just received a paper Evolution of arid zone birds in Australia: leapfrog distribution patterns and mesic-
arid connections in quail-thrush (Cinclosoma, Cinclosomatidae) published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. They clearly state that Nullarbor Quailthrush should be recognised as a separate species. I have always thought that the paper by Ford, which proposed lumping this taxon with Cinclosoma cinnamoeum, represented statistical rubbish. But now I do not have to argue for this any more. It’s been done. If anyone would like a pdf of the paper, let me know offline.
