It was previously known only from the Central Range, plus three outliers (Huon, Vogelkop and Foja) all much higher than the Adelberts. Our sole sighting was on 6 August 2004, when JD saw a pair on a river at 640 m below Kangarangate. The river at that point was 6 m wide, rushing, dropping, and with many large boulders. As soon as JD reached the river at 09.18 h, one Salvadorina ȱ thatȱ wasȱ perchedȱ besideȱ theȱ riverȱ flushedȱ andȱ flewȱ offȱ downstream.ȱAtȱ09.25ȱhȱaȱpresumablyȱdifferentȱindividualȱappearedȱ9ȱmȱupstream,ȱperchedȱ on a stone 15 cm high next to the river, and occasionally slid its tail rapidly sideways. It swam upstream and reappeared on another boulder mid-river. Occasionally it raised the forebodyȱandȱshookȱitsȱwings,ȱwhichȱappearedȱshort.ȱAtȱ09:41ȱhȱitȱflewȱoffȱupstreamȱwithȱ quickȱponderousȱflaps.ȱNeitherȱindividualȱmadeȱanyȱsoundȱduringȱtheȱobservation,ȱwhichȱ affordedȱ aȱ closeȱ prolongedȱ view.ȱ Theȱ billȱ wasȱ dullȱ yellow-orange,ȱ theȱ speculumȱ inȱ flightȱ green edged white anteriorly and posteriorly. Kangarangate villagers, who refer to this duckȱbyȱtheȱAiti-languageȱnameȱ‘asavi’,ȱstateȱthatȱitȱisȱcommonȱbutȱshyȱandȱproneȱtoȱfleeȱonȱ seeing people, and that it lays many eggs on a rock with much grass near the river.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0388A018FFE3FFC9C4A0FB97FBF7C400	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Munggur villagers are familiar, using the local name ‘dalek’, with the distinctive three-note angry-cat call of A. insignis . Hence A. albertisi and A. insignis are now known to co-exist at similar elevations on at least seven of New Guinea’s outlying ranges, as well as the Central Range.

They denied knowledge of any additional mound-building species that would have been Aepypodius arfakianus, for which the only Adelbert report was by Mackay.

At our higher elevation site, Munggur, where we heard and saw jewel-babblers from 1,170 to 1,655 m, all sightings were of the bicoloured (deep blue and rich chestnut) P. castanonota . At Kangarangate, most of our sightings were also of P. castanonota down to 1,000 m. However, we saw the duller, uniformly coloured P. geislerorum three times, at 1,070, 1,110 and 1,265 m: dull slate-blue individuals that were presumed males, and dull brown individuals presumed to be females. Calls of the two species seemed similar: paired notes, tsp‐tsp, the secondȱofȱeachȱpairȱlouder;ȱandȱaȱseriesȱofȱnotesȱonȱtheȱsameȱhighȱpitch,ȱtheȱfirstȱnotesȱshort,ȱ thenȱaȱlongȱnote,ȱandȱfinallyȱtheȱloudȱ tsp‐tsp.

Coates (1990: 66) found both species co-existing in the Adelberts, even on adjacent territories, at 800–1,220 m. The ecological relations between these species remain mysterious to us, because the other four co-existing species of Ptilorrhoa ( P. castanonota,ȱSpottedȱ P. leucosticta, Blue P. caerulescens and Black-vented Jewel-babblers P. nigricrissus) segregate cleanly by elevation (Diamond et al. 2019: 455–456).

The Adelbert song is the ‘wheel song’ characteristic of the species elsewhere in New Guinea: aȱ descendingȱ seriesȱ ofȱ notesȱ likeȱ theȱ soundȱ ofȱ aȱ wheelȱ turning,ȱ terminatingȱ inȱ aȱ flourish.ȱ Because two or three Zosterops species co-exist by elevational segregation on all other outliers except Van Rees, and because one Zosterops specimen collected in the Adelberts by W. Peckover was catalogued as Z. novaeguineae (very similar in plumage to Z. atrifrons, but veryȱ differentȱ inȱ song)ȱ beforeȱ beingȱ preparedȱ asȱ aȱ skeleton,ȱ weȱ paidȱ particularȱ attentionȱ to Adelbert white-eyes and their songs. All singing Zosterops that we encountered gave the ‘wheel song’ of Z. atrifrons . Because we found Z. atrifrons abundant up to the highest elevations in the Adelberts, it seems unlikely that Z. novaeguineae or any other Zosterops species could be present at high elevations along with Z. atrifrons .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0388A018FFE8FFC2C4A0FEAEFCB2C0A9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
