It has been clear that IOC and Clements handles taxonomy differently. But I have a simple question. Is the recent Clements update is a criticism over the IOC list or the Cornell staff is just way behind their schedule to follow and accept every changes appeared in the past future.
Just for fun and for curiosity I have created my Clements list by importing my existing list from my IOC (bubo.org) list. My life list is not that big but I had to add quite a lot species manually as simply they were not found by Clements. That is not a surprise though. What surprised me is that quite a few species splits has been accepted by IOC a long time ago while Clements has no action on it (e.g. White-browed Coucal vs Burchell's Coucal).
Best, Szimi
