Including ring dove?[edit]

I wonder, does this list have to include only one common name per species? Streptopelia risoria is used extensively in academic research and is very commonly refered to as the ring dove, rather that the Barbary dove. A search of Google Scholar for "ring dove" minus "barbary dove" gives 3,570 hits. I don't know whether Barbary dove is the more common term out there in the real world.

February 22, 2019 revision[edit]

The many changes made in this revision are listed here rather than in a long edit summary.

The former text is replaced with a paragraph which describes the source of the list and philosophy of the presentation. The full reference is included. All changes to the list proper are to match it to the reference, IOC version 9.1.

The original list was presented in what was apparently the IOC taxonomic sequence at the time it was created. The species have now been rearranged.

Twenty species are added to the former list. Because its source was neither named nor dated, I don't know which are recently described species, which are the result of splits, and which were omitted in error.

Twenty-five genera, three specific epithets, and eight common names have been revised.

One species has "(probably extinct)" revised to "(extinct)" and another has "(extinct)" added.

Ranges are updated.

A column is added to number by taxonomic sequence.

The column headers have been revised for clarity.

Misspellings throughout are corrected.
