Lumped Species in the 1966 - 2002 Analysis
We have taken a conservative approach to summary of population changes
in species that have undergone taxonomic changes during the BBS period.
Because the only changes that can be made by data managers are
geographic in nature (e.g., renaming species where clear geographic
distinctions exist), the analysis is not changed for those regions by
the name changes. However, by analyzing them in aggregate, we can use
all the information from areas where the taxonomy is uncertain.
Investigators can extract information for "split" species by viewing the
population change summaries at the scale of the geographic species.
Here is a list of the grouped species. The name of each grouped species
complex is followed by the component species.
