Taxonomy used in EcoRegistros for BIRDS



The task of keeping sheets for the various species generated the need to choose a taxonomy to use. The difficult task of choosing between the different positions that are now in science has led to a detailed analysis for each case. The evolution of species is very difficult to understand and no one has the absolute truth, that is why we believe that for some cases, certain sources are most appropriate and other cases are other sources. This module explicitly leaves the taxonomy used in EcoRegistros lists.

EcoRegistros uses as a priority the HBW and BirdLife Taxonomic Checklist v8.1 (2024) for birds around the world and Savigny (2021) for seabirds. In turn, we allow ourselves to adopt alternative sources for certain cases, which we call "Exceptions of EcoRegistros".


EcoRegistros Exceptions:

Penelope bridgesi recognized as a valid species, following Evangelista-Vargas y Silveira (2018). Previously considered subspecies of P. obscura.

Leucocarbo bransfieldensis recognized as a valid species, following Orta et al. (2021a). Previously considered subspecies of L. atriceps.

Leucocarbo georgianus recognized as a valid species, following Orta et al. (2021b). Previously considered subspecies of L. atriceps.

Glaucidium tucumanum not recognized as a valid species, following Gill et al. (2024) and Remsen et al. (2024). This form is considered as a subspecies of G. brasilianum.

Accipiter chilensis recognized as a valid species, following Jaramillo (2003), Pearman & Areta (2020) and Gill et al. (2022). Anteriormente considerada subespecie de A. bicolor.

Colaptes campestroides not recognized as a valid species, following Gill et al. (2022) and Remsen et al. (2024).

Scytalopus whitneyi recognized as a valid species, following Remsen et al. (2024).

Syndactyla cabanisi recognized as a valid species, following Cabanne et al. (2019).
