Accepted: 26 May 2020 Abstract The resolution of the Tree of Life has accelerated with advances in DNA sequencing technology. To achieve dense taxon sampling, it is often necessary to obtain DNA from historical museum specimens to supplement modern genetic samples. However, DNA from historical material is generally degraded, which presents various challenges. In this study, we evaluated how the coverage at variant sites and missing data among historical and modern samples impacts phylogenomic inference. We explored these patterns in the brush-tongued parrots (lories and lorikeets) of Australasia by sampling ultraconserved elements in 105 taxa. Trees estimated with low coverage characters had several clades where relationships appeared to be influenced by whether the sample came from historical or modern specimens, which were not observed when more stringent filtering was applied. To assess if the topologies were affected by missingdata,weperformedanoutlieranalysisofsitesandloci,andadatareductionapproachwhereweexcludedsitesbasedondata completeness. Depending on the outlier test, 0.15% of total sites or 38% of loci were driving the topological differences among trees, and at these sites, historical samples had 10.9Â more missing data than modern ones.

  • Australia Comprehensive Target Species Custom Tour Trip Report
    AUSTRALIA COMPREHENSIVE TARGET SPECIES CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 23 AUGUST – 1 OCTOBER 2019 By Andy Walker The Endangered (BirdLife International) Mallee Emu-wren has a tiny global range, and we had excellent views of a pair while birdwatching in Victoria. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Australia, Aug-Oct 2019 Overview This 40-day custom birdwatching tour of Australia commenced in Adelaide, South Australia, on the 23rd of August 2019 and ended in Sydney, New South Wales, on the 1st of October 2019. The tour also visited the states and territories of Victoria, Northern Territory, and Queensland. A pelagic trip was taken off southern South Australia (Port MacDonnell). Unfortunately a planned pelagic trip off southern Queensland (Southport) was canceled due to illness. This custom birding tour route was South Australia (Adelaide to Port MacDonnell) - Victoria (circuit around the western section of the state) - New South Wales (a brief stop for parrots along the state border) -Victoria (remainder of the western circuit back to Melbourne) - Northern Territory (Alice Springs area) - Northern Territory (Darwin to Kakadu and back) - Queensland (circuit out of Brisbane) - New South Wales (circuit out of Sydney). Several areas visited on this tour feature in our Australia set departure tours (e.g. East Coast and Northern Territory tours). A list of target birds was provided for the tour (the clients’ third trip to Australia), and these became the focus of the tour route and birding, though new trip birds encountered were also enjoyed! A total of 421 bird species were seen (plus 5 species heard only), including many client target birds.

  • Changes from the WA Checklist 2014 (Updated April 2015)
    Changes from the WA Checklist 2014 (updated April 2015) Reptiles and frogs (compiled by P. Doughty, R. Ellis and R. Bray) Revision of species boundaries in Uperoleia. A summary paper of recent genetic work on Uperoleia toadlets redrew several species’ ranges. One result was the discovery that U. inundata occurs widely in the Kimberley, but is difficult to distinguish from U. crassa and U. borealis. This species is now added to the WA frog checklist. Catullo, R.A. and Keogh, J.S. (2014). Aridification drove repeated episodes of diversification between Australian biomes: Evidence from a multi-locus phylogeny of Australian toadlets (Uperoleia: Myobatrachidae). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 79: 106–117. Revision of the Diplodactylus conspicillatus species complex. Oliver et al. (2014) undertook an analysis of this widely-distributed ‘species’ across the Australian arid zone and monsoonal tropics. Using molecular and morphological data, they found evidence for seven species-level lineages. Four species occur in WA: D. conspicillatus, D. laevis (resurrected from synonymy and widely sympatric with D. conspicillatus), D. bilybara sp. nov. (western Pilbara and Carnarvon regions) and D. custos sp. nov. (Kimberley). Oliver, P.M., Couper, P.J. and Pepper, M. (2014). Independent transitions between monsoonal and arid biomes revealed by systematic revision of a complex of Australian geckos (Diplodactylus; Diplodactylidae). PloS ONE 9(12): e111895. New species of Oedura from the Kimberley. A distinctive new species of Oedura, O. murramanu, was discovered from the Oscar Ranges in the Kimberley. It is most similar to O. filicipoda but differs in tail shape and other characters and occurs 150 km to the south of that species.

    AUSTRALIA: THE SOUTHWEST SET DEPARTURE TRIP REPORT 8-16 DECEMBER 2019 By Andy Walker Noisy Scrubbird is one of the toughest birds in Australia to see, but we had great views of this bird and even managed to capture the memorable moment it ran toward us. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Southwest Australia, December 2019 Overview This scheduled tour of the southwest of Western Australia commenced in Perth on the 8th December 2019 and ended back there on the 16th December 2019. The tour visited several main birding locations, these being Dryandra Woodland, Stirling Range, Cheynes Beach, Cape Leeuwin, and Busselton, as well as plenty of other stops along the way. A total of 164 bird species were seen (plus one species heard only), including many Australian endemics and numerous very localized southwest Australian endemics. The highlight sighting of the tour was the exceptional views we had of the notoriously shy Noisy Scrubbird, a real skulker, but which on this occasion showed really well for us all, even allowing the rare opportunity of a photograph (see trip report cover photo). We also had very nice looks at the other two tough birds of the region, Western Bristlebird and Black-throated (formerly Western) Whipbird. The regional endemics were major targets on this trip, and we saw all we looked for, including Baudin’s Black Cockatoo, Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, Western Corella, Red-capped Parrot, Western Rosella, Red-eared Firetail, White-breasted Robin, Western Wattlebird, Red- winged Fairywren, Western Whistler, Western Spinebill, Gilbert’s Honeyeater, etc. Several near-endemics to southwestern Australia were also found, such as Blue-breasted Fairywren, Western Yellow Robin, Spotted Scrubwren (a recent split from White-browed Scrubwren), and Rufous Treecreeper, along with a few potential future splits, such as the western subspecies of Crested Shriketit, Varied Sittella, and Scarlet Robin.
