Tasmanian scrubwren
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The Tasmanian scrubwren or brown scrubwren (Sericornis humilis) is a bird species endemic to the temperate forests of Tasmania and nearby King Island. It lives in the understory of rainforest, woodland, dry forest, swamps and coastal scrublands.[1]
Taxonomy
Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now no longer accepted; they instead are currently placed in the independent family Acanthizidae. It is alternately considered a subspecies of the smaller white-browed scrubwren, and further research is needed to understand the relationships between the two species.[1]
Subspecies
There are two subspecies of Tasmanian scrubwren:[2]
- S. h. humilis – nominate subspecies; Tasmania
- S. h. tregellasi – King Island
