Butcherbird split in new IOC/OZ checklist
By Birding-Aus, on February 1st, 2015
Hi all, It’s interesting that Silver-backed Butcherbird was split off Grey-backed Butcherbird based on Kearns et al. 2013 (Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 66: 941–952) and Kearns et al 2014 (Nature Communications 5: 3994). Based on Kearns et al. 2013, shouldn’t IOC have been more consistent and have done the following: (1) Split PNG Black Butcherbird and AUS Black Butcherbird (2) Lump genus Gymnorhina with Cracticus, and move Australian Magpie Cracticus tibicen next to Black Butcherbird? Maybe we need further evidence… Cheers, Nikolas Nikolas Haass | MD, PhD, FACD Associate Professor; Head, Experimental Melanoma Therapy Group President of the Australasian Society of Dermatology Research (ASDR) The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute Level 6 | Translational Research Institute | 37 Kent Street | Woolloongabba QLD 4102 T: +61 (0)7 3443 7087 | M: +61 (0)424 603 579 F: +61 (0)7 3443 6966 E: n.haass1@uq.edu.aun.haass1@uq.edu.au> | W: www.di.uq.edu.au; http://www.di.uq.edu.au/associate-professor-nikolas-haass; http://www.medfac.usyd.edu.au/people/academics/profiles/nhaass.php; http://asdr.org.au/ [cid:image001.png@01CCAA73.229EB890] …Turning scientific discoveries into better treatments… CRICOS Code 00025B This email is intended solely for the addressee.
