    The Zoochat Photographic Guide to Mammals - Index



    As will have been noticed, over the last year or so a number of comprehensive studies of mammal taxonomy have been posted by Zoochatters - in particular @Chlidonias , @lintworm and myself - and we have started discussing the concept of expanding this out to cover extant mammals in their entirety. This will both act as a valuable resource, and highlight the diversity of species represented within the Zoochat gallery - along with where there are gaps in representation which potentially could be filled by future uploads to the gallery.

    However, the convenience of this resource will be limited if it remains - as has been the case thus far - scattered throughout the forum. As such we have decided the time is right to post an index of those groups which have been covered in these threads, along with noting which threads are in-progress and the groups remaining to be covered. Each major mammal group will list the thread/threads which deal with the taxa concerned, but for more specific convenience will also list each family classified within the group with hyperlinks to the precise posts in which the family is discussed.

    Possibly, but it would be incredibly impolite to tread on @lintworm 's toes by creating another thread which would contain the same photographs, taxonomic information and so forth purely to have a thread which "looks" the same as the other ones.

    If anyone is wondering, @lintworm 's thread (Ungulate Taxonomy Revised) only talks about African bovids, so another Artiodactyl thread would be needed for the rest of the species within the order (hippos, deer, non-African bovids, camelids, giraffids, pigs, peccaries and the pronghorn).

    Please consider deleting the word 'official' from this thread. An 'official guide' is almost an oxymoron. Are we going to get a less authoritarian 'provisional guide' with opposed parties threatening to knee-cap or disappear ZooChatters who use the wrong name?
    Just call it a guide.

    And as Ungulate Taxonomy is pretty much a minefield, all the background and references help to form an informed opinion. There arecnot many places where such an concise overview of current knowledge is accessible.

    In due time the other families will be dealt with as well, you just need a proper dosis of patience.

    Patience :p as @lintworm has noted, he intends to deal with the other members of the Artiodactyla in time, along with the Perissodactyla, in line with his intention to cover those species discussed within Ungulate Taxonomy.

    I think the only portion of the Artiodactyla which is not covered by the book in question is the Cetacea, so this may merit another thread.

    Knowing some of the members of this site, one cannot rule this out :p

    Are only mammals being covered? I would also like to see some threads done for birds.



    And totally not just so we have a Passerine thread longer than The Nonsense Thread :p

    By definition only mammals would be covered in a mammal taxonomy project :p I'd quite like to do an owl taxonomy thread at some point, but it wouldn't come under the purview of this thread.

    Yeah, I'd like to do birds as well - but that'd be a long way away yet. The mammal guides take a lot of work.

    The Passerines wouldn't be a single thread anyway, obviously. They would be divided over multiple threads.

    It is worth noting, incidentally, that we would actually like to be notified by PM if someone wants to deal with a group in case the group in question has already been allocated/reserved by someone else. Also, to put it bluntly, so that we can judge whether the person asking is capable of doing a good job and completing the task :p

    The thread by @Kakapo is more than welcome, however.

    Hmmm... Well, my apologizes, but since I know that admins here see every new thread shortly after publication, I tought that additional notification was unnecessary. Sorry! In the case of the cetacean thread I think that is not a perfect job but more due to the very lack of images (lack of species, lack of alive specimen pics, or lack of good quaility photos showing the entire animal instead just a back or fin over the water surface) than for lack of capacity.

    I have updated the index to include links to the cetacean and New World primate families which have now been covered, along with links to the threads discussing same.

    I have updated the index to include links to the Old World and New World primate families which have now been covered and a note that the primate threads in question have been completed, along with links to the Chiropteran families which have now been covered and a link to the thread discussing same.
