Avibase est un système informatique complet sur toutes les espèces d'oiseaux du monde qui comporte plus de 53 millions de mentions sur 10 000 espèces et 22 000 sous-espèces, incluant des données sur leur distribution dans plus de 20,000 régions, leur taxinomie, des synonymes dans plusieurs langues et bien plus. Ce site est géré par Denis Lepage et hébergé par Oiseaux Canada, un des partenaires canadiens de Birdlife International. Je travaille sur Avibase depuis environ 1992 et je suis heureux de pouvoir offrir ce site à la communauté ornithologique (amateurs et scientifiques).

Over the past few months, I have incorporated the latest versions of the IOC, Clements/eBird and Birdlife/HBW checklists into Avibase. I have also continued to expand on distribution data, with over 300,000 new records added since September, as well as 93 new regions (mostly islands around the Baja Peninsula, Mexico, and around Palawan, Philippines, as well as corrected some errors and omissions for Brazil municipalities) .
In addition, I have continued the work on the bibliographic data, with some 52,000 out of 89,000 original descriptions now tied to their original source (mostly on the Biodiversity Heritage Library). While some obscure sources remain currently unavailable online, I expect that vast majority of the remaining ones can still be found! I have also continued the painstaking work of trying to link all original descriptions to taxonomic concepts (avibase ID's), with around 52,000 of them now completed, many of them resoved into the synonymy of the current names.
Finally, I have also started to better align my master taxonomy and bring it more current, to align with the work of the Working Group Avian Checklists due for publication in the first half of 2025, and the other global taxonomies that are participating in this effort.
