All I see is a CV.

 

[Larry Lade]

I have PMed the OP to see if he intended to include more information.

Standby.

The web address even says this is a folder for CVs ...

As is common practice on this forum, Peter was helpfully alerting us to the fact that an interesting paper is forthcoming - 'in review' (as Peter clearly stated) - see bottom of p2.

Thanks, Peter. :t:

[Larry Lade]

I understand now that Mr. Kovalik was just alerting us to some forthcoming articles.

Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Richard, thanks for keeping us up to date on this subject. Your diligence in this area is appreciated.

John Boyd is much more diligent, on the case already...

Interesting: "may be undergoing speciation"

I am looking a little at Galapagos species at the moment, after visiting in August. My question is Española Mockingbird: why is this still called Hood Mockingbird by for example the IOC list? I have not recently seen a map containing the word Hood for Española, so it is not really helpful to stick to the old name anymore?

Maybe recognising that the letter ñ is very difficult to generate for many users (e.g. my mobile phone can't type it), and "Espanola" with an ordinary 'n' is a ghastly misrepresentation?

Even with my desktop, it's tricky, I have to look up on my crib sheet to find the code Alt+0241 for it, as I don't use it often enough to memorise it.

AOU-SACC Proposal #242 (Wiedenfeld 2006) resulted in SACC's adoption of the English name Española Mockingbird – also used by eBird/Clements, BirdLife and HBW (but H&M4 uses the name Hood Island Mockingbird).

Actually, Proposal #242 doesn't propose Española Mockingbird — it proposes "Espa�ola Mockingbird", presumably because of some clunky software which fails to create a ñ. Not sure how a little box with FFFD in is supposed to be pronounced 3

Q.E.D. to my earlier post!

I think that the way SACC pages appear depends on both the system you are using and on which browser you use. For example, there is no problem viewing it on my iPad.

For most uses, Espanola and Española are close enough to each other that I do not see a big problem.

SACC: diacritics

AOU-SACC...

[NOTE: For reasons still to be determined, the server is changing the encoding of files so that diacritical marks are not being displayed properly on these pages. Until this is fixed, a temporary fix for Macintosh users is to go to your browser, find the Encoding menu and change from Unicode to �Western (Macintosh)�. In Chrome, go to View > Encoding > select Western (Macintosh). Thanks to Steve Smith for figuring this out]

 

[Nutcracker]

That's precisely my point selecting names that don't use diacritical marks avoids this sort of problem :t:

IOC will revisit
