Phylloscopus bonelli

 – Least Concern

Taxonomy

Kingdom: ANIMALIA
Phylum: CHORDATA
Class: AVES
Order: PASSERIFORMES
Family: SYLVIIDAE
Scientific Name: Phylloscopus bonelli
Species Authority: (Vieillot, 1819)
Synonym/s:
Phylloscopus orientalis (Brehm, 1855)
Common Name/s:
EnglishBONELLI'S WARBLER
Taxonomic Notes: Phylloscopus bonelli (Sibley Monroe 1990, 1993) was split into P. bonelli and P. orientalis by Sangster et al. (2002), but this treatment is not followed by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group, because although Sangster et al. (2002) argue that the 'the calls of the allopatric bonelli and orientalis are completely diagnostic', Svensson (1999) state that in agitation both races use the hü-if call that is otherwise considered diagnostic of bonelli only. Given that the songs and morphology are very similar, and that the ranges of the two taxa show a close approach in Croatia, it seems wise at present to await further information from this region.

Assessment Information

Red List Category & Criteria: LC    ver 3.1 (2001)
Year Assessed: 2005
Assessor/s: BirdLife International
Evaluator/s: Ekstrom, J. & Butchart, S. (BirdLife International Red List Authority)
Justification: This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 1,000,000–10,000,000 km². It has a large global population, including an estimated 2,700,000–6,900,000 individuals in Europe (BirdLife International in prep.). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
History:
1988-Lower Risk/least concern (BirdLife International 2005)
1994-Lower Risk/least concern (BirdLife International 2005)
2000-Lower Risk/least concern (BirdLife International 2005)
