World list mammals

03 Dec 2023 12:20 #1 by Joost Valkenburg
Hello, 

I am trying to find a place where I can make a world list of mammals.  Bubo is great for birds. Is there a option to include  a mammal list in bubo? 

Thanks 

Joost

Hi Joost
To be honest we are very busy with the pan-species list at the moment, but this has been requested by others recently and we will look into it at some stage. No promises though! The major effort with any list is ensuring it is up to date and well-maintained. You can consider using www.mammalwatching.com/resources/the-mammal-list-rankings/ in the meantime.
And sorry that PSL is only UK, but we won't be expanding that wider unless anyone pays me enough to turn this until a full-time job :-)

Hi all,

Like Joost, I have this big wish as well!I sent a cheeky email to request this feature. I have recently listened to the MammalWatching podcast (episode 20), which is an interview with Connor Bugin, who maintains the Mammal Diversity Database (found here: link ), which is now widely regarded as the most up-to-date and authoratative list of the world's ~6500 mammal species. It was used to create the Mammals of the World checklist books, for example. This is basically what Jon Hall from mammalwatching.com uses to maintain the lists on there. Perhaps it would just be as simple as adhering to this list? 

Would definitely be superb if BUBO could add this, but we appreciate the time and effort that is needed for keeping BUBO running as is, for free!
Mike, you know where to find me if you need any hands in maintaining/creating the checklist!

Kindest regards
Diedert Koppenol
