[QUOTE="Richard Klim, post: 3331038, member: 773"] Probably not. But the non-reciprocal relationship between this book and the [I]HBW/BirdLife Checklist[/I] does seem a little strange. The [I]Checklist[/I] explicitly cites [I]Bird Families of the World[/I] as its macrosystematic reference... And yet [I]Bird Families[/I] (admittedly not published under the [I]HBW[/I] 'brand') apparently treats H&M4 as the most authoritative source for species-level taxonomy. Given that the book has been co-published by Lynx and Cornell, perhaps H&M was seen as a neutral alternative to HBW/BirdLife or eBird/Clements for species-level taxonomy – although the reliance on H&M may simply have been dictated by the non-availability of the revised HBW/BirdLife passerine taxonomy at the time of writing... PS. Or maybe this book has effectively revealed that the HBW/BirdLife genus/species-level passerine taxonomy will be close to H&M4... [/QUOTE]
