Zanda (a correction)?

Sorry, that should be: This classification was picked up subsequently by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), who ARE quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species … Cheers, Stephen Stephen Ambrose Ryde, NSW —–Original Message—– From: Stephen Ambrose [mailto:stephen@ambecol.com.au] Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2016 10:00 AM To: ‘John Leonard’; ‘birding-aus@birding-aus.org‘ Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] Zanda? Hi John, A quick look at the literature: Zanda was a subgenus of the genus Calyptorhynchus. But DNA studies by White et al. (2011) suggested that Zanda should be separated from Calyptorhynchus and elevated to genus level. This classification was picked up subsequently by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), who are not quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2012-1.RLTS.T22684739A38977158.en and Winkler et al.

I have just received my copy of the Bird Families of the World, from the HBW people. Magnificent volume! Anyway, I see they use Zanda as the generic name for the Yellow-tailed and two White-tailed Cockatoos. When did this happen? I’d like to know as it affects my online persona (I’ll have to become Zanda now, solemn and mournful, not noisy and gregarious). ? John Leonard
