User:Ucucha/Subfossil sites on Madagascar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Notes: "Holocene subfossil sites can be divided into four different types of deposits": caves, marsh deposits in highland regions, coastal marsh deposits, and riverine deposits. It might be good to classify the sites... if we can. At the very least, these four categories and their descriptions should be included in the introduction. – VisionHolder « talk » 21:34, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid we'd be unable to classify many sites. But it's certainly something to mention in the lead. Ucucha 18:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

A few minor things we'd better work out now:

  • What citation format are we using?
Your style is fine. I only ask that lemur articles follow my style since I hope to standardize them all. – VisionHolder « talk » 18:53, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Should all species be linked on every occurrence?
I would prefer that we do not... but in lists like this, I really don't know what's best. – VisionHolder « talk » 18:53, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
We probably should, especially if we make the list sortable. Ucucha 19:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I think we should also subdivide reptiles and amphibians if we're doing that for mammals. Arguably, we should also do that for birds, especially as some sites have lots and lots of them, but bird classification is such a mess that natural groups are hard to think of.
If you feel comfortable subdividing them, then go for it. As you pointed out, the birds will be a big mess, but I'm not sure if most readers would care much. Distinguishing snakes from lizards, though, might be more helpful. – VisionHolder « talk » 18:53, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
"Lizard" is not a natural group, so I'd prefer avoiding it. Anyway, we have only one site with squamates so far, so the issue isn't really significant yet. Ucucha 19:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Notes

[edit]

Elephant bird nomenclature after Brodkorb (1963):

  • Mullerornis (type M. betsilei) = Flacourtia (type M. rudis)
    • M. betsilei (Antsirabé)
    • M. agilis (near Mouroundava)
    • M. rudis (betw. B & M)
  • Aepyornis (type A. maximus) = Aepiornis, Epiornis, Epyornis
    • A. maximus = A. modestus = A. titan = A. ingens (Ambolisatra, Masikoro, Mouroundava, betw. B & M, Itampulu Vé, Lamboharana)
    • A. medius = A. grandidieri = A. cursor = A. lentus (Cape Sainte-Marie; prob. betw. Bélo & Mouroundava)
    • A. hildebrandti = A. mulleri (Antsirabe)
    • A. gracilis (apparently no precise localities)
