Hi Peter,
Did you read the full paper?
I'm looking forward for a genetic study that will compare São Tomé & Príncipe White-eyes that are looking very different in the field with different voice. I'm almost sure they should be splitted and even not group in the same super-species.
Cheers

Based on Cox et al., (2014), I've ... split the Socotra White-eye (Z. socotranus) from Abyssinian White-eye.

Thanks, Peter. Too many 'Mol...' journals nowadays.
