印尼蘇拉威西發現新鳥種
A new bird species has been discovered in Indonesia, proving that there are still a few new things under the sun. The observation is even more surprising given the “new” species was first spotted in the forests of Sulawesi 15 years ago.
The Sulawesi streaked flycatcher, Muscicapa sodhil, lives in the forested lowlands of the island and joins a host of similar flycatchers in this ecological hotspot.
But there is no doubt this is a new species given its unique plumage, body structure song and genetics, according to the US and Indonesian scientists who describe the bird in the current edition of PLOS One.
