Incomplete?

[edit]

The list seems to be weirdly incomplete - there are no rabbits or hares on the list, which contradicts my on-site experience. That is however "own research" if there ever was one and I am not sure what good sources would be - I was always used to go to Wikipedia for these lists!Opisska (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at https://www.iucnredlist.org/search and narrowed the search to mammals of Tajikistan (which unfortunately I can't save a link to) and there are no rabbits or hares on their list. I'd guess that's the origin of our list. Like you said, original research can't overrule a reliable source, so I hope someone can add clarification.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  21:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See List of mammals of Tajikistan# Order: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs): "The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas)." TJRC (talk) 22:03, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did some research and actually the only species missing is the Tolai Hare. The following rather old reference http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/000ADOBES/Lagomorphs/B605_IUCN_RabbitsHaresPikas.pdf considers it a subspecies of Cape Hare, but MSW https://www.departments.bucknell.edu/biology/resources/msw3/ has elevated as a separate species, so does the Aulagnier et. al western palearctic book (it marginally occurs in WP as well). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opisska (talkcontribs) 08:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, it's even easier, IUCN's own map shows it over the whole country - https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/41308/10437875Opisska (talk) 08:46, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Google Scholar brought up http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/mountain_partnership/docs/4_HAR.pdf#page=88 and https://search.proquest.com/openview/6d1eb23b67ce80c926237f856d5e096d/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=37514 which seem persuasive. IUCN must not be up to date. I'd say Be Bold and add it. When I get a chance, I'll update the page based on the list below plus the tolai hare.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  15:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
