Talk:Icterid

Icteridae, Icterid, New World blackbird
I am confused. Are the terms Icterid and New World blackbird synonymous? If so, I think the New World blackbird article should be merged into this one and it should be re-named Icteridae. Opinions?--Brambleshire (talk) 20:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Bobolink subspecies
Does anyone know if D. o. oryzivorus and D. o. albinucha are widely accepted as valid bobolink subspecies? If so, it should be included in that article. --Pablo.ea.92 (talk) 03:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Yellow-breasted chat
I am the author of the article about Dolichonyx oryzivorus in the Spanish Wikipedia and I found a paper that said that the bobolink, an icterid, is closely related to the yellow-breasted chat. When I wrote that in the article’s taxonomy section, it aroused some controversy due to the fact that the yellow-breasted chat was originally classified as a parulid. Then I resorted to the article in English about this bird to learn more about its taxonomy and it suggested that its classification as a parulid is obsolete. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about its current classification. Has anyone heard or read anything about its phylogenetic links with Icteridae? If you happen to know any free-access paper available in the internet about this matter, I’d appreciate you let mi know in my talk. Thank you! --Pablo.ea.92 (talk) 11:04, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Rename
This article should be named for the family Icteridae, a scientific term, not a common name. "Icterid" should redirect to the family name. Nickrz (talk) 14:03, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Number of genera and species
In the German Wikipedia entry, the number of genera is named as 31 and the number of species is named as 112, quoting: " David W. Winkler, Shawn M. Billerman, Irby J. Lovette: Bird Families of the World: A Guide to the Spectacular Diversity of Birds. Lynx Edicions (2015), ISBN 978-8494189203, S. 538 u. 539". I don't have that book, but is the exact number still a matter of debate among experts, or is one of the pages just unquestionably plain wrong? 2003:D0:1713:8F0F:C9D5:5310:5CB3:682A (talk) 10:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
