Have a look at Jerome Jackson's article at http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000459#pbio-1000459-g002 if you can stand a look backward at the ivory-billed woodpecker kerfuffle of a few years back. Lots of links to other articles, too. Interesting to see how some took advantage of birders' or conservationists' zeal to promote themselves or their organizations.
