Common cicadabird

The common cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre), also known as the slender-billed cicadabird, is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is found in Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.[2] The species is placed in the reinstated genus Edolisoma by most authors.[3] The common cicadabird was described as a "great speciator" by Mayr & Diamond (2001)[4] and Pedersen et al. (2018)[3] described how this species rapidly colonized and diversified across the Indo-Pacific island region and Australia in the Pleistocene.

gollark: Although the source repository backing (ish) osmarks.tk's on my github account.
gollark: Nope, just osmarks.
gollark: My Github name? It seems very sane. I don't see the problem.
gollark: Yes, very stealing to use the assets and stuff in compliance with the licence and then to add many useful features and maintain and port it for newer versions.
gollark: Also using æ a lot.
