Cornell Lab of Ornithology | BOW Discovery Webinar: Avian Taxonomy Update 2022 @cornell_lab | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Please join staff from eBird, Birds of the World, and special guest Pamela Rasmussen to learn what’s new in avian taxonomy, especially regarding the 2022 update to the eBird/Clements checklist which is now showing across all Lab projects including eBird, Macaulay Library, Merlin, and Birds of the World.
The team discusses why annual taxonomy updates are necessary and how names are settled upon by the international Working Group Avian Checklists (WGAC). They will also discuss recent efforts to standardize bird taxonomy across all major global checklists.
Finally, the team will highlight a few interesting taxonomic shifts and discuss what changes are most likely to affect your life list.
Speakers: BOW Science Editors Tom Schulenberg and Shawn Billerman, Project Lead Brian Sullivan, eBird Project Lead Marshall Iliff, and Pamela Rasmussen from Michigan State University. Tom, Marshall, and Pam are on the WCAG committee.
