Greylag Goose added to James Spencer's Northumberland life list (BOU). List total is 112.

AERC Western Palearctic List

The Association of European Rarities Committees (AERC) provides a good "official" list of birds of the Western Palearctic. The list was originally published in 2003 and was most recently updated in December 2011.

The geographical limits considered by AERC are as defined by the nine-volume Birds of the Western Palearctic - basically Europe, North Africa and a block of the Middle East roughly south and east to Kuwait, but not including Iran nor anywhere east of the Urals and Caspian Sea. For more precise definitions, see BWP.

If you have no strong opinions on list authorities for Western Palearctic listing, it is recommended that this is the one you use.


Either select the species to add by first selecting the authority to copy it from, then the particular species, or enter a new species directly below.

NB: Likely authorities hard-coded for now, but dropdown should ideally be restricted to parents of current authority only.

If selecting from another authority, you can still update the information below before adding the species.

 

NB: Species name is defaulted from the previous species row and should of course be overwritten!.

NB: Genus is defaulted from the previous species row but may need overwriting; specific needs to be entered in either case.

NB: Species id will be taken from the corresponding species on the authority being copied from, otherwise enter 0 for a totally new species.

NB: Need a way to enter a new family if required.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

Delete species

NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa, e.g. Species A/B.

NB: Scientific should also be updated, e.g. Genus specific A/specific B.

NB: Split species must previously have been added through Add Species. Currently allow for split into 5 species. Ideally this should be done through a species lookup rather than direct entry of id.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

NB: Lumped species must already exist. Ideally this should be done through a species lookup rather than direct entry of id.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

This will update all user lists according to the edited taxonomy and should only be done when all edits are complete.
