摘要: The recent scientific literature employs three binomial names for the southern African endemic bird known as Cape White-eye: Zosterops capensis, Z. pallidus and virens. This unacceptable inconsistency reflects contention regarding white-eye systematics. Recent molecular work by Oatley colleagues led to suggestion that virens capensis should both fall under name We urge ornithologists adopt this convention, we encourage further stud ies in order clarify taxonomy of white-eyes.
