    Does anyone know what the problem with ISIS is? Mammals have not been updated for a month and everything else has not been updated since 28 March.

    A similar situation occured last summer.

    Is it anything to do with ZIMS?

    ISIS used to be a terrific site, but lately the numbers never seem to be perfectly updated. At least it offers up an approximation of captive species...

    Remeber that ISIS only report the data that their members send them, when their member send it to them. So you shouldn't blame ISIS for outdated information on their site.

    And mark77, individuals cannot be members of ISIS, only institutions that house animals.

    And a new feature has been added:

    Aotus lemurinus bipunctatus
    Synonym of Aotus lemurinus griseimembra

    And more "Synonym of...." has been added :)

    Must be a pain to keep up with biology, but good work nonetheless.
