Nick over at Biological Ramblings has put together two great posts that deserve a visit. In them, he looks at the history of bird species discovery and then figures out what common threads bind together the birds discovered in more recent times. Both posts are fascinating reads with lots of interesting data presented.

Quality over quantity is my new blogging style 😉
Thanks for the links
It’s always been quality over at Biological Ramblings! And no problem…
I don’t know, I think the analysis is quite disappointing. I really would have expected a more detailed prognosis:
“My analyses have revealed that a visit to the western part of Pulau Ju (insert exact coordinates) on February 12th 2012 will lead to the observation of an as yet undescribed species of Thrush (Turdus), with a small family group perched in the lower branches of the tree to the immediate west of the waterfall. The most fitting scientific name for this new species would be Turdus belltowerbirderi.”
Science ain’t what it used to be…
