Checklist of the birds of South Asia [Version 1] Praveen J., Rajah Jayapal, & Aasheesh Pittie

This is a complete checklist of the birds of South Asia [Version 1] (hereafter, ‘South Asia Checklist [ver. 1]’). It includes taxa that are both, claimed, and possible for the region (Rasmussen & Anderton 2012a, b). The checklist follows the fourth edition of The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World (hereafter, ‘H&M4’; Dickinson & Remsen 2013; Dickinson & Christidis 2014) for taxonomy and species sequence. It also largely adopts the English names as given in H&M4; however, for some taxa (85 species), regionally established names have been chosen over H&M4 names with adequate care that they do not alter the global outlook of the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1]. For this work, the region covered by South Asia includes Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, The Maldives, and the Chagos Archipelago. The South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] has been compiled mainly as a ready-reckoner for users interested in the birds of South Asia. With rapid advances in molecular systematics and phylogenetics, avian taxonomy has been a cauldron of intense research over the past two decades and the resulting turbulence is likely to continue for some more time till it stabilizes. It is, therefore, only pertinent that we follow an authoritative and dynamic source for systematics and species sequence to keep the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] taxonomically current and modern. H&M4, being a widely respected and thoroughly researched world bird list, is our natural choice. As and when H&M4 is updated (as promised by its authors), we will update South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] for relevant changes in South Asian avifauna. Users should be ready for significant changes in taxonomy and English nomenclature in future, as we expect more radical findings from ongoing studies on species limits and higher-order taxonomy in Aves. Meanwhile we welcome comments and suggestions from all users to continually improve the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] in terms of its scientific accuracy, coverage of taxa, and appeal of its choice of English nomenclature. All correspondence regarding the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] may kindly be sent to Praveen J., at the email ID: .
