I am working on updates and expansion of articless on swallows, swifts and martins, all classified as neotropical migratory birds. Neotropical migrant is a common descriptive term in ornithology but Wikipedia lacks an article or major section that contains a description, list of species, and so on. I can argue both for and against each option: a major section in this article or a separate article. I would appreciate comments from others on which is most appropriate.

I would say a separate article would be better, because the migrants also spend a considerable amount of time in temperate zones, and so the scope is broader than this article. A "see also" link to a Neotropical Migratory Birds would be quite useful here, however. Animalparty (talk) 00:18, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen Texas and Florida be included or excluded from the Neotropical region by different authorities. For example, Graham Griffiths' Flies of the Nearctic Region excludes Texas. Southern Florida has a tropical climate but strong connections to the Nearctic. I weakened the statement about inclusion of these regions. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 14:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The word "Neotropics" is a combination of the prefix "neo-" meaning "new" and "tropics" which means near the equator. Who coined this term? When did it make its way into common use? In what way is the region "new"? This basic information should be presented in an encyclopedic entry on the term "Neotropics".60.242.189.31 (talk) 19:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
