Previous work has noted the morphological and ecological distinctiveness of Wakatobi infrenatus sunbirds, as O’Connell et al. (2019a) found they exhibited increased sexual dimorphism and higher population density compared to plateni birds from Sulawesi and the land-bridge islands.(Marcaigh., et al 2022) |

The Wakatobi sunbird (Cinnyris infrenatus) is a species of sunbird endemic to the central Indonesian Wakatobi islands. C. infrenatus has a higher pitched voice, darker plumage and shorter wings compared to the olive-backed sunbird (Cinnyris jugularis), to which it is closely related.[2][3][4]
The speciation of the olive-backed and Wakatobi sunbirds follows Alfred Wallace's prediction about the Wallace Line, a separation of deep and shallow oceans of Asia and Australia that is difficult for most species to cross.[5] Previous work has noted the morphological and ecological distinctiveness of Wakatobi infrenatus sunbirds, as O’Connell et al. (2019a) found they exhibited increased sexual dimorphism and higher population density compared to plateni birds from Sulawesi and the land-bridge islands.(Marcaigh., et al 2022)
