IOC World Bird List v8.2 (1 Viewer)

The link is not updated but the new version is there: http://www.worldbirdnames.org/master_ioc_list_v8.2.xlsx

I can't download this as an Excel spreadsheet only gobbldegook in .txt


Any idea of splits relevant to ABA area or WP? It looks like I get Iberian Grey Shrike and Mahgreb Magpie. What about the other previous members of Lanius Meridonalis, are they all still together?


I dare say all will be properly downloadable when the work in progress is complete

All previous meridionalis subspecies except nominate moved to excubitor. They still (strangely) accept pallidirostris as a separate species though.

My bet is that there are a number of taxa whose relationships not only require further evidence from multiple lines of (mostly) genetic research, but also whose breeding distributions are poorly known, as are the extent and location of sympatric and interbreeding zones.

One step at a time...

Download Scythebill and once you input your data and updates are installed, it incorporates all your armchair ticks automatically though I don't know when IOC 8.2 will be incorporated?

https://www.scythebill.com/

I really can't speak highly enough of this free programme.

Going back to the IOC, most of your questions will probably be answered by looking at the proposals which preempt any updates.

Thanks, that’s where I was getting my info. Just confused me, that if Iberian Grey Shrike stays as Meridonalis and is monotypic I was unsure what would become of the other previous subspecies of Meridonalis. If they are all transferred to Excubitor then I don’t get a tick (the most important thing of course) but it seems odd they are more closely related to Excubitor and don’t not Meridonalis!
 
I can't see anything about Iberian Grey Shrike anywhere. How am I missing it?

Two magpie forms will be ticks though, maybe even three. And a seedeater.

And at the moment all the master lists seem to be unavailable, just a load of unintelligible rubbish on notepad.

If you can’t read the Excel sheets, check out Taxonomy (and English Names) under Updates.
 
Thanks - they have clearly just missed it out of the list of changes.

What happens to Southern Grey Shrike? HBW/Birdlife split out Iberian and lump the rest back with Great Grey.

Steve

PS Now able to access the proper list. This shrike seems to be causing problems though - look at the notes for meridionalis where it says 'change English name to more appropriate Iberian Grey Magpie' !

Can you clarify that for me MJB, all I do is pass them on to Frank Gill. I can't see the document right now. A

Andy,
I was just taking the opportunity to lead on from your post another aspect of 8.2; just for everyone's information, it re-sequences the Phylloscopus warblers. I've no complaint with that - if I had, I'd have contacted FG meself! This revision follows Alström et al 2018.
