Emu’s First 120 Years: Landmark Papers of Change in Austral Ornithology
In celebration of Emu Austral Ornithology’s 120th birthday, the Editorial Board has compiled a virtual special issue, which highlights key contributions to austral ornithology across the journal’s history. Editorial Board members were invited to identify and contribute a few words on some key papers. Consequently, we highlight some of the published gems that have shone in 120 years of Emu Austral Ornithology, discuss their scientific significance, as well as how and why their publication has helped shape austral ornithology. To explain the importance of these papers, an Editorial (Joseph et al 2021) accompanies the issue which explains why these particular papers have been instrumental in the development of the field. The key papers that we have selected are provided free to access for a period of time.
