Bird of prey "Accipitres", subdividing this into four genera: "Vultur" (vultures), "Falco" (eagles, hawks, falcons, etc.), "Strix" (owls), and "Lanius" (shrikes). This approach was followed by subsequent authors such as Gmelin, Latham, and Turnton. Louis Pierre Veillot used additional ranks: order, tribe, family, genus, species. Birds of prey (order Accipitres) were divided into diurnal and nocturnal tribes; the owls remained monogeneric (family Ægolii, genus "Strix"), whilst the diurnal raptors were divided into three families: Vulturini, Gypaëti, and Accipitrini. Thus Veillot's families were similar to the Linnaean genera, with the difference that shrikes were no longer included amongst the birds of prey. In addition
Endemic Bird Areas of the World: Priorities for Biodiversity Conservation by six Regional Introductions, in which Endemic Bird Areas are grouped into six major regions: The bulk of the book consists of accounts of each of the 218 Endemic Bird Areas. Each account contains the following information: The book concludes with a short section giving brief details of 138 secondary areas, again grouped into the six regions. "Endemic Bird Areas of the World: Priorities for Biodiversity Conservation" follows on from work presented in the 1992 publication "".
