MEASUREMENTS OF THE NOISY PITTA Pitta versicolor IN AUSTRALIA


Measurements of the wing, tail, tarsus and culmen of the Noisy Pitta Pitta versicolor show no sexual dimorphism but significant latitudinal increases, southwards from Cape York Peninsula. This follows Bergmann's Rule. These geographic differences, and the lack of any seasonal differences, suggest that there is no extensive north-south movement of Noisy Pittas in the southern parts of their range.
