For each of the more than 5000 mammal species, the add-on puts in
listing software the English common name, the scientific name, the
English common and scientific names of its family and order, and a very
detailed specification of the range. It was prepared from authoritative
sources by Dr. Andrew Duff and Ms. Ann Lawson in a multi-year project
which also led to their favorably reviewed book Mammals of the World
(2004: London: A. & C.Black). The Mammal Data Add-On is updated
from time to time by Duff and Lawson.
Our listing software, BirdBase and BirdArea, has been widely used with
birds for years. With the add-on, it records a sighting of any mammal at
any place for any date and include a lengthy sighting note if desired. The
records automatically update the user's annual and life lists for all
locations
(county, state/province, region defined by name or by latitude and
longitude,
nation, world). These lists can give complete information for every
sighting,
or for only each mammal's first sighting, or just name the mammals seen.
Furthermore, the software can list in detail the range of every mammal and
can produce lists of the mammals of all major world areas (all US states,
Canadian provinces, and nations, plus most major islands or island groups).
Mammals endemic to an area are labeled on the area's check list. And each
mammal is labeled to show if the user has seen it within the area, outside
the area, or both.
