Yet the three groups of flycatchers are not closely related; the similar behaviors are an example of convergent evolution.
Although the Myiagra flycatchers on some islands are still common, others are losing ground rapidly and at least one is already lost.
A tremendous population crash of all Guam birds, including the flycatcher, took place in the 1980s, primarily due to the accidental introduction of the Brown Tree Snake Boiga irregularis from New Guinea.

 Administration Seeks To Maintain Essential Fish Habitat While Proposing To Withdraw And Revisit Its Critical Habitat ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service today announced that it is seeking judicial approval of a consent decree withdrawing its current critical habitat designations for 19 salmon and steelhead populations.
The move is in response to litigation challenging the process by which its critical habitat designations were established.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, involved a different species - the Southwestern willow flycatcher - the type of analysis reviewed by the court was similar to that used by NOAA Fisheries in its salmon and steelhead critical habitat designations.

 Birdwatching Trip Report from Micronesia, April 2004
The airport has a good variety of shorebirds, and the Japanese Gun area on the outskirts of Weno has a few endemics — Oceanic Flycatcher, CI White-Eye, CI Reed-Warbler, fruit-dove — as well as Blue-faced Parrotfinch.
The Reed-Warbler was here, along with CI White-Eye and Oceanic Flycatcher, and the parrot-finch was heard.
Even though it was hot and sunny, the road has lots of shade, and I saw most of the endemics within 1-2 km — fruit-dove, swiftlet, Morningbird, flycatcher, fantail, Giant White-Eye, flyover Nicobar Pigeons towards the end of day, and a Blue-faced Parrot-Finch, the only one on Palau.

The highlands began to take their current form over the next 10 million years.
Luzon is therefore oceanic in character, having never been connected to mainland Asia.
Even during the Pleistocene, as world sea levels fell 120 m, Luzon expanded to become a larger island including the modern islands of Polillo, Marinduque, and Catanduanes but never connecting to other regions of the Philippines or to mainland Asia (Heaney and Regalado 1998).

This species is treated as vulnerable by Birdlife International (due to its restricted world range), however, during the recce at least 12 birds were seen.
This species belongs to the same family as a number of the flycatchers in Australia and, during the recce, was found to be not uncommon at two of the birding sites we will be visiting on Weno Island, Chuuk.
This species was extremely common in suitable habitat on Saipan, however, as with the Golden white-eye (see below), this situation could change rapidly if brown tree snakes become established on the island.

In the Solomon Islands, east of New Guinea and northeast of Australia, lives the monarch flycatcher, a medium-size songbird, which is refining our understanding of evolution.
Curious about how new species arrive on islands, Chris Filardi, a University of Montana visiting scholar, began gathering DNA samples from the flycatchers and reconstructing relationships between the birds on the islands and on the island’s nearest continents.

When Doug asked her if she knew where to find the Caroline Island Ground Dove she said 'It's in my back yard!' That evening we saw the Oceanic Flycatcher, endemic to Chuuk, sitting on a nest on the grounds of the lovely Blue Lagoon Hotel.
There's a big backup; apparently every other person in Shasta County is dying of heart disease; they are even importing extra surgeons.

Such birds as the bridled white-eye, the Guam flycatcher, and the Mariana fruit dove, once widespread on the island, now exist only as stuffed museum specimens or illustrations in birders’ guidebooks.
Even some nonavian natives—the Mariana fruit bat, for instance—are rapidly disappearing under the attack of the resourceful reptile.
