Talk:Blue-faced honeyeater

message: Multilocus analysis of honeyeaters (Aves: Meliphagidae) highlights spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the influence of biogeographic barriers in the Australian monsoonal zone AU  Toon, AHughes, JMJoseph, L SO  MOLECULAR ECOLOGY VL  19 IS  14 BP  2980 EP  2994 PY  2010 TC  0 AB  Multilocus studies in phylogenetics and comparative phylogeography have the power to explore a broader spectrum of evolutionary questions than either discipline has alone. To examine the origins of sympatry in a group of closely related birds of mostly mesic eucalypt woodlands in Australia, we reconstructed the relationships among species of Entomyzon and Melithreptus honeyeaters (Aves: Passeriformes: Meliphagidae) using a mitochondrial marker, ND2, and six non-coding nuclear loci (total 4719 base pairs). By sampling across the geographical range of each species, we studied not only their phylogenetic relationships to each other but also the spatial distribution of their genetic diversity. We tested several biogeographic hypotheses concerning the role of Pleistocene environmental change in Australia. Phylogenetic gene trees support the current understanding of E. cyanotis as the sister to Melithreptus. Non-monophyly of M. lunatus in Australia's southern temperate woodlands highlights the need for a revision of systematics within Melithreptus. Phylogeographic analysis of the three northern species in Australia's monsoon tropics, M. gularis, M. albogularis and E. cyanotis, suggests that the roles of the Carpentarian and Torresian Barriers in shaping geographic structure in each of the species have been more complex and temporally dynamic than earlier morphology-based arguments of vicariance had suggested. We discuss their roles as ecological filters as well as barriers.

replies: text: seems to be an old German publication with general info covered in more detail elsewhere. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: can't find it but the Higgins is a good guide to distribution with an exhaustive list of articles to check. It is likely to be a one-off odd-bird-in-my-garden-outside-of-range note. There is some material I can add from Higgins though. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

text:  strange story of pair of blue-faced honeyeaters driving off noisy miners and raising their eggs, but once the young miners were fledged the blue-faced honeyeaters flew away and the miners raised them. I've never heard a story like this one and strikes me as a bizarre one-off that I think is better to defer adding... Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
