[QUOTE="mb1848, post: 2595367, member: 31036"] In addition Packert & Martens mention abietum in a Viewpoint from a 2008 Ibis: “Further, Gosler and Clement (2007) mention two additional genetically and morphologically distinct taxa but do not list them in the subspecies accounts. These missing subspecies are: Periparus ater eckodedicatus Martens, Tietze & Sun 2006 and the concurrently revalidated southwestern European Periparus ater abietum Brehm 1831 (Martens et al. 2006). The marked genetic differentiation of the latter populations strikingly parallels the situation between northern and southern European Blue Tits (see below). We question why these distinctive populations (abietum and eckodedicatus) of Coal Tits did not merit formal subspecies status, while the genetically least-distinctive Himalayan melanolophus populations that hybridize regularly with the aemodius sister clade rank as a separate species.” [url]http://www2.mnhn.fr/crbpo/IMG/pdf/tits_Ibis_150_4_.pdf[/url] .
