Incidentally, this "News" item makes some odd statements about the AERC
Yes, sorry about that. The News item was posted online without TSC being consulted on the text and without any warning that it was going to be posted. We would of course have picked up any misrepresentations in the text.
BOURC vs H&M4:PS. H&M4 would add 5 spp and remove 8 spp.
Thanks, corrected. :t:You wrote Corvus (corax) cornix instead of Corvus (corone) cornix.
What for BOURC vs IOC, please?BOURC vs H&M4:
BOURC vs BirdLife:
See post #11...What for BOURC vs IOC, please?
It seems to me there 's study who found that Acanthis hornemanni is embbeded into A. flammea.
Yep, saw that, it's just it's tricky to sort out as it's compared with 2 lists together there, not just one at a timeSee post #11...
Fwiw, here's a summary of species-level taxonomic differences between BOURC, IOC and eBird/Clements that directly affect species on the British List:
Just for you... :t:Yep, saw that, it's just it's tricky to sort out as it's compared with 2 lists together there, not just one at a time
Thanks! Though what's the third removed? I only see two (bolded above)??Just for you... :t:
BOURC vs IOC:(Adopting IOC taxonomy would add 8 spp and remove 3 spp.)
- Tundra Bean Goose Anser (fabalis) serrirostris - I
- Desertas Petrel Pterodroma (feae) deserta - I
- Northern Harrier Circus (cyaneus) hudsonius - I
- Hudsonian Whimbrel Numenius (phaeopus) hudsonicus - B
- Least Tern Sternula (albifrons) antillarum - I
- Thayer's Gull Larus (glaucoides) thayeri - I
- Red-tailed Shrike Lanius (isabellinus) phoenicuroides - I
- Steppe Grey Shrike Lanius (meridionalis) pallidirostris - I
- Two-barred Warbler Phylloscopus (trochiloides) plumbeitarsus - I
- White's Thrush Zoothera (dauma) aurea - I
- Stejneger's Stonechat Saxicola (maurus) stejnegeri - I
- Eastern Yellow Wagtail Motacilla (flava) tschutschensis - I
- Lesser Redpoll Acanthis (flammea) cabaret - B
- American Yellow Warbler Setophaga (petechia) aestiva - I
...also Lanius meridionalis to L pallidirostris.Though in some cases all it involves is change in name, rather than change in number on list (Zoothera dauma to Z. aurea; Setophaga petechia to S. aestiva), as the nominates split from aren't on the British list.
IOC's split of Pterodroma deserta downgrades all British records of P feae to 'species undetermined'.Thanks! Though what's the third removed? I only see two (bolded above)??
