Peter Pyle ABA checklist person speaks to ABA about issues discussed in taxonomy here.
The New Pyle Guide is Here with Peter Pyle .
Peter Pyle is working on Birds of the World moult /appearance info for birds.
He published an ID guide to North American birds in 2022.
Buteo Books: Identification Guide to North American Birds Part 1, Second Edition: Columbidae to Thraupidae .
Subspecies overhauled in 2022 book and big database for subspecies using 75% he thinks most species are over split (too many subspecies?) subspecies axed weakly defined eliminating clinal gradations where to draw line?
Eliminated 25 to 30 percent of subspecies in 2022 and will publish database for cutting non passerines subspecies later?
AOU does not address subspecies on checklist.
“Although a complete revision of North American avian subspecies has not been done, we refer readers to Avibase, Clements, and other checklists (see below), as well as to Birds of North America, for more up-to-date treatments of subspecies. The Birds of North America project is systematically revising subspecies accounts for North American birds.”
Pyle et al is preparing response to: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ibi.13164 .
Which will include an evolutionary tree to explain molt differences in birds?
