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

Species



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
* Photo [# of] - all photos on the GT Network of this species and within brackets # of photos
* 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...)
* xeno-canto - click and you will be redirected to xeno-canto's website to hear voice recordings of the species
* Wikipedia - click on the icon and you will be redirected to Wikipedia's website

Taxonomic notes

Clements 6.7:

One of the thorniest issues in avian nomenclature revolves around the scientific names for some white-eyes on the Solomon Islands. Different authors have applied the name Zosterops rendovae to two separate species, one of which has an olive throat, pale tarsi, and a gray or yellow belly, and the other of which has a gray or olive throat, dark tarsi, and a gray belly. Here we follow Dickinson (2003) and Dutson (2011) in completely suppressing the name rendovae. Consequently we change the names of the species with the olive throat and pale tarsi from Solomon Islands White-eye (Zosterops rendovae) to Solomons White-eye (Zosterops kulambangrae). We would like to think that this will be the end of the story, but note that the name Zosterops rendovae still is in use by some authorities, although for a different species (see note below under Gray-throated White-eye Zosterops ugiensis), and so the nomenclature for these white-eyes may not yet be stable.

GT taxonomic comment:

In Clements species name rendovae and in IOC kulambangrae.
