Hi Dr Christidis,I hace searched for your email address to ask you for a reprint, but the last address I found was at the Australian Museum, and that bounced. So I'm glad I've found a way to reach you at last and leave you my request: would it be possible to send me (preferably by email) a copy of your paper Evolution of the Australasian songbird fauna in EMU, 110 (1): 21-31 2010"?It will be useful for my ongoing research into the biogeography of the Indomalay archipelago, but is unfortunately not available in digital format from the library here.Thanks very much in advance!Kind regards,Hubert Turnerbiogeography; collections managementt +31 71 527 35 75e turner@nhn.leidenuniv.nlNetherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis (section NHN), Leiden UniversityP.O.
