Would anybody know what this journal currently does to satisfy Art. 8 of the Code?
(They once used to do what is explained at the bottom of the page [here], which resulted from a reading of Art. 8.6 that was effectively made incorrect by the e-only publication Amendment. I'm unclear what they do now.)

Well, one could have the impression that the Code of Zoological Nomenclature is irrelevant for ornithologists and editors of ornithological journals.

But Orn. Col. is not an e-only publication. A few printed copies will be made. But it is possible that the name is not available before that has happened.

TiF Update Marsh 15
Owls: Koparde et al. (2018) found that Heteroglaux is embedded in Athene. Thus the Forest Owlet becomes Athene blewitti. This causes a rearrangement of Athene.

As an aside, the IOC Version 8.2 (Draft) list section has the english and scientific names transposed :t:

Vera, U., Martin, P., Alice, C., Luca, F., Alexandre, R., Comprehensive molecular phylogeny of barn owls and relatives (Family: Tytonidae), and their six major Pleistocene radiations, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution (2018), doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2018.03.013
Abstract
The owl family Tytonidae comprises two genera: Phodilus, limited to the forests of central Africa and South-East Asia, and the ubiquitous Tyto. The genus Tyto is majorly represented by the cosmopolitan Common Barn Owl group, with more than 30 subspecies worldwide. Discrete differences in body size and plumage colouration have led to the classification of this family into many species and subspecies, but the taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships between taxa remain unclear, and in some groups controversial. Although several previous studies attempted to resolve this problem, they have been limited in their taxonomic and geographical coverage, or have relied on restricted molecular evidence and low sample sizes. Based on the most comprehensive sampling to date (16 out of 17 Tyto species, and one out of three Phodilus species), a multi-locus approach using seven mitochondrial and two nuclear markers, and taking advantage of field data and museum collections available worldwide, our main questions in this study were: (1) what are the phylogenetic relationships and classification status of the whole family; (2) when and where did the most important speciation events occur? We confirm that the Common Barn Owl, Tyto alba is divided into three main evolutionary units: the American Barn Owl, T. furcata; the Western Barn Owl, T. alba; and the Eastern Barn Owl, T. javanica, and suggest a Late Miocene (ca. 6 mya) Australasian and African origin of the group. Our results are supported by fossil age information, given that the most recent common ancestor between the Tytonidae genera Phodilus and Tyto was probably from the Oligocene (ca. 28 mya) of Australasia. We finally reveal six major Pleistocene radiations of Tyto, all resulting in wide-range distributions.
