grrlscientist writes: "A lovely new species of antwren from Brazil has just been described in the literature, and the best part is that the majority of this bird's status as a new species was argued based on its distinct vocalizations.
From the article: "This is potentially another new species for Brazil. Once confirmed, it is vital that we assess its conservation status and any potential threats. It would be sadly ironic if, as soon as it was discovered, Sincorá Antwren became threatened with extinction," observed Stuart Butchart, who is the Global Species Program Coordinator for BirdLife."
