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.
