Bird diversity on shelf islands does not benefit from recent land‐bridge connections
Aim Research in island biogeography has long focused mainly on present‐day island
configurations. Recently, there has been an increasing focus on islands' past histories of …

A novel deep learning‐based bioacoustic approach for identification of look‐alike white‐eye (Zosterops) species traded in wildlife markets
The songbird trade crisis in East and South East Asia has been fuelled by high demand,
driving many species to the brink of extinction. This demand, driven by the desire for …
