Examples

“Only a few of the 26 malurids have been studied sufficiently closely to reveal their social organization.”

“A number of typical riparian, reed-dwelling, woodland and tall open forest species that forage in the shrub and ground layers were possibly reduced in abundance and absent (e.g. muscicapids, cuculids, malurids, acanthizids, sylviids).”

“Fairywrens and Grasswrens, an account of the malurids by well-known ornithologists Ian Rowley and Eleanor Russell, is more than a field guide, but illustrated in guide style, three species to a plate, by Marsack.”
