We are moving the database from GT1 to GT2 right now, so it can be some problems with the GT2-checklist.

The data on species level is structured in four areas (see picture below):
1. At the top in light yellow, the species' name is shown together with, when applicable, its IUCN code (click on the code and you will be redirected to IUCN's webpage with detailed information about this threatened species) and, if you have ticked the species, a green tick to the right
2. In the rich yellow field you also have the species name and a scroll function up (left) or down (right) the sequence of the chosen checklist (click on Filter if you want to change the active checklist).
3. Below the yellow field, the taxonomic tree down to the chosen level is shown (click on any higher level to get a new selection of species groups).
4. The submenu in black shows the information sets available:
* Info - species info including a distribution map, a photo and, if applicable, subspecific information and taxonomic notes
* Names [# of] - shows the species' name in different languages (recommended as well as optional names) and within brackets # of names

* Distribution - a distribution map and countries where this particular species/subspecies has been recorded and also its status
* Who X - list of GT members that have ticked the species and in which countries
* My ticks [# of] - my own ticks on country level and within brackets # of ticks
* My notes [*]- a free text field where you can save your personal notes related to this species; if you have saved information you will have a [*] marker
* Literature - in which book and on which plate is the taxon depicted (this is work-in-progress so not many references so far...)

Taxonomic notes

Clements 6.7:

Our August 2012 update (Clements Checklist 6.6 spreadsheet erred in its delineation of a monotypic Gray-backed group and a polytypic Green-backed group in this species, and completely overlooked the existence of the Green-tailed group. Instead of being monotypic, the Gray-backed group actually contains 11 subspecies and ranges through much of interior Africa, the Green-backed group (with 5 subspecies) occurs coastally from southern Kenya to South Africa, and the Green-tailed group has a limited range in Gabon and Angola.
