The Wakatobi sunbird (Cinnyris infrenatus) is a species of sunbird endemic to the central Indonesian Wakatobi islands, at times restricted from tiny Wakatobi islands, off the southeastern coast of the larger Sulawesi.[2] 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.[3][4][5]
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.[6] Even more difficult when pressures from deforestation continue to increase, making it harder for these species to develop.[1] O'Connell et al. (2019a) observed that Wakatobi infrenatus sunbirds showed stronger sexual dimorphism and a larger population density in comparison to plateni birds from Sulawesi and the land-bridge islands, confirming the physical and ecological differences between the two species.
