Along with extant native species, all accepted vagrants, recently extinct (since 1800) native species and established introduced species are included. All species of birds that have been recorded from the Australian mainland, Tasmania, island territories and surrounding waters are treated and listed. The findings of these studies are summarised and evaluated in the explanations for the taxonomic treatments adopted, and with the extensive citations, the book serves as a comprehensive introduction to the recent systematic literature of Australian birds.
Building on the authors’ 1994 book, The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of Australia and its Territories, it incorporates the extensive volume of relevant systematic work since then. Systematics and Taxonomy of Australian Birds presents an up-to-date classification of Australian birds.

Full colour photographs assist with species identification and global distribution maps give a visual representation of the current known distributions of these species. It also looks at the environmental impact of each species, as well as current and future control methods. It acts as a one stop reference volume it assesses current invasive status for each bird species, including details of physical description, diet, introduction and invasion pathways, breeding behaviour, natural habitat. Examining globally invasive alien birds, the first part of this book provides an account of 32 global avian invasive species (as listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group, ISSG).
