Where the treatment varies between these sources, it may be noted by comments in the text or by presenting each variation with comments. Eg. subspecies cooki of Red-fronted Parakeet Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae in WLAB 4.1 is elevated to species level (Norfolk Island Parakeet Cyanoramphus cookii) in NZCL 2022. See Taxonomic changes since HANZAB book published in Red-crowned Parakeet (the NZCL 2022 name for Red-fronted Parakeet) or HANZAB Index+ for the treatment adopted.
