A question of reliability

The stated purpose of the review by Cooney et al. (2006) was ‘to explore the extent of mistletoe nesting at the species level’ for the entire Australian avifauna. The authors compiled records from: all volumes of Emu since 1900; monographs on nests and eggs, such as those by AJ Campbell (1900/1974). AJ North (1901–1913) and G Beruldsen (1980, 2004); Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds (19902006); the Birds Australia Nest Record Scheme; their own field notes and observations; and solicited reports from about 30 other experienced ornithologists. The paper concludes that 217 foliage-nesting species have been recorded nesting in mistletoe. Table 1 lists these species and the sources of observation. One of the authors of the paper, John Young, was the sole observer for 104 species, about half of the total – the only observer among 73 sources. He observed some 197 of all the species seen nesting in mistletoe, at least fifteen times more than any other source. He was also the sole observer of representatives of 6 of the 7 bird families that aren’t typical foliage-nesters (Table 2). These tallies do not seem credible, especially given that Young does not specialise in mistletoe-nesting birds. Young’s reliability has also been challenged by a recent formal investigation by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy into his claims regarding the Night Parrot. Unfortunately, the inclusion of his records substantially affects the results of an otherwise robust and commendably thorough paper.

可靠性问题

Cooney 等人陈述的审查目的。(2006) 是“探索槲寄生在物种层面筑巢的范围”,适用于整个澳大利亚鸟类。作者汇编的记录来自:自 1900 年以来所有的鸸鹋卷;关于巢和蛋的专着,例如 AJ Campbell (1900/1974) 的专着。AJ North (1901–1913) 和 G Beruldsen (1980, 2004);澳大利亚、新西兰和南极鸟类手册(19902006);澳大利亚鸟巢记录计划;他们自己的实地记录和观察;并征求了大约 30 名其他经验丰富的鸟类学家的报告。该论文得出的结论是,已记录有 217 种树叶筑巢物种在槲寄生中筑巢。表 1 列出了这些物种和观察来源。该论文的作者之一约翰·杨是 104 个物种的唯一观察者,约占总数的一半——73 个来源中唯一的观察者。他观察到大约 197 种在槲寄生中筑巢的物种,至少是其他任何来源的 15 倍。他还是 7 个非典型树叶筑巢鸟家族中 6 个家族代表的唯一观察者(表 2)。这些数字似乎并不可信,特别是考虑到 Young 并不专门研究槲寄生筑巢的鸟类。澳大利亚野生动物保护协会最近对杨的关于夜鹦鹉的说法进行了正式调查,这也挑战了杨的可靠性。不幸的是,包含他的记录极大地影响了原本稳健且值得称道的彻底论文的结果。他还是 7 个鸟类家族中 6 个家族(不是典型的树叶筑巢者)的唯一观察者(表 2)。这些数字似乎并不可信,特别是考虑到 Young 并不专门研究槲寄生筑巢的鸟类。澳大利亚野生动物保护协会最近对杨的关于夜鹦鹉的说法进行了正式调查,这也挑战了杨的可靠性。不幸的是,包含他的记录极大地影响了原本稳健且值得称道的彻底论文的结果。他还是 7 个非典型树叶筑巢鸟家族中 6 个家族代表的唯一观察者(表 2)。这些数字似乎并不可信,特别是考虑到 Young 并不专门研究槲寄生筑巢的鸟类。澳大利亚野生动物保护协会最近对杨的关于夜鹦鹉的说法进行了正式调查,这也挑战了杨的可靠性。不幸的是,包含他的记录极大地影响了原本稳健且值得称道的彻底论文的结果。澳大利亚野生动物保护协会最近对杨的关于夜鹦鹉的说法进行了正式调查,这也挑战了杨的可靠性。不幸的是,包含他的记录极大地影响了原本稳健且值得称道的彻底论文的结果。澳大利亚野生动物保护协会最近对杨的关于夜鹦鹉的说法进行了正式调查,这也挑战了杨的可靠性。不幸的是,包含他的记录极大地影响了原本稳健且值得称道的彻底论文的结果。
