Wilson & Reeder's Mammal Species of the World, now in its 3rd edition, is a standard reference work in zoology giving descriptions and bibliographic data for the known species of mammals.

An updated Third Edition of Mammal Species of the World was published late in 2005.[1]

The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History maintains an online site for accessing current information, including taxonomic, as it is compiled.[2]

The fourth edition is currently being compiled by multiple authors internationally, and is being edited by DeeAnn M. Reeder and Kristofer M. Helgen.[3]
