In June 2025 the first version of the The Global Avian Checklist (AviList) was formally launched. All ATWB titles are being revised to conform to the taxonomy, English names and scientific names in AviList v2025. This exercise will take some time. It is expected that the first ‘All the World’s Birds 2026’ titles will be released late in 2025, with others being made available sometime during 2026.

The first nine 2026 PART-BY-PART Companion Guides have been published, as listed below. They cover all the world’s 4308 ‘known to be extant’ Non-Passerine bird species, plus the 1393 ‘known to be extant’ Suboscine Passerine species and the first 2650 ‘known to be extant’ Oscine Passerine species as they appear in v2025 of the AviList. You can view all nine titles on ATWB Online here.
