Advances in DNA technologies have uncovered a new subspecies of red-tailed black-cockatoo in Western Australia by GrrlScientist for Forbes | @GrrlScientist NOTE: This piece was a Forbes Editor’s pick. When recognising a new species or subspecies, a “holotype” (i.e., the specimen from which the subspecies or species was first described) is required. The holotype for Calyptorhynchus banksii escondidus is a specimen held at CSIRO’s Australian National Wildlife Collection (ANWC), specimen ANWC B37847.
