Duff and Lawson checklist update? (1 Viewer)

Mysticete · Jan 9, 2013

Does anyone know anything more about this?

I don't use any listing software, and I am interested in seeing what stuff has gotten split/lumped/discovered.

My baseline is MSW 3rd edition, but if this is more current I would probably upgrade

I annotate a hardcopy of D&L for my list so I'd be interested in seeing the update but it seems to cost more than the book cost me!

I only formalised my list against D&L last year and have manuscripted in a couple of species which seem to be missing (can't remember which) so I suspect (if my meagre list is turning up things like that) there is a degree of scope for change in it as with anything.

I do the same. There are two on my list missing in the book - Davis Mountain Cottontail and Canyon Pipistrelle.

Yeah...it strikes me as bizarre to have a checklist update, but only have it available for a list management program and not either as a publication or book revision, or at least website page

I use the program for bird sightings -- in that it is based on Clements. I have not bought the Mammal add on (listed at $30) but having dealt with the company, you usually get the newest version of the list if you buy from new, so I think the $30 would be the lay out to get the mammal version - but they may charge for the basic program on top if you do not have it already.

I asked Andrew yesterday if a revised hard copy was in the pipeline but he's working on a seemingly endless piece of work in producing volumes of beetle ID books.

It will be 2+ years away at the very least. Likely to be a lot longer.

Cheers, Andy.

Some rumors I have heard is that the checklist updates merely updates the original Duff and Lawson list to MSW3
