Taxonomy of conures needs to be updated?

Look at conure. AFAIK, the taxonomy of the species has changed a lot since this article was written. New genera, species moved around...

I know ornithologists don't like conures, but I don't know enough to update it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.126.162 (talk) 08:22, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Diving adaptations in birds

I am working on expanding Physiology of underwater diving#Adaptation in other animals. I have a fair amount on mammals, but lack good sources to expand Physiology of underwater diving#Diving birds. I would welcome anyone with an interest in this subtopic who wants either to expand the section or who can link me to some good sources on the internet, as I do not have access to suitable libraries. Please reply at Talk:Physiology of underwater diving. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood : 16:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

White-browed tit-warbler source request

Howdy hello folks! I'm looking for someone who has a HBW subscription to help me with the White-browed tit-warbler and . If someone would email me the page, that'd be top. I'd have gotten to it myself, but since HBW is on the way out, I don't have a subscription rn, and its impossible to get new subscriptions. Anyone else who has sourcing suggestions would also be appreciated. Its a real cute lil bird, and some (edited) photos of it have been going around on social media, so its super popular right now. Afraid I've been unable to find many sources however :( Any help appreciated! CaptainEek 04:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Hiya Eek. Here's the original description, pg. 135 (this site has improved immensely btw, now you can read online, no more скача́тьing of .djvu files -15 years ago I used to get these books as torrents via ru.tracker). My Russian stinks, but it's better than no Russian, I can translate bits. I see nothing about the purported etymology, for example. If you search for the original publications in Cyrillic you can also find the descriptions of the subspecies. There is also an important 1905 article in the Bulletin of the St. Petersburg Science Academy about this species: synonyms and such. Also check out the great picture in Russian Misplaced Pages.
