 The crested shriketit (''Falcunculus frontatus'') is a bird endemic to Australia where it inhabits open eucalypt forest and woodland. ==Taxonomy and distribution== Recent work with nuclear gene sequencing suggests that the crested shriketits and the wattled ploughbill may require their own family, Falcunculidae (Dickinson 2003). There are three subspecies (sometimes considered full species) with disjunct ranges:〔Higgins & Peter (2002)〕 * Western crested shriketit (''F. f. leucogaster'') - sparsely distributed in south-western Western Australia * Northern crested shriketit (''F. f. whitei'') - rare, with isolated records in the Kimberley region of north-western Australia and the Top End of the Northern Territory * Eastern crested shriketit (''F. f. frontatus'') - the stronghold of the species in south-eastern Australia from the Lower South-East of South Australia, coastally and in the Murray-Darling Basin to south-eastern Queensland, with some scattered occurrences further north and west in Queensland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crested shriketit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
