Identifying Cinderella species: uncovering mammals with conservation flagship appeal (2012, methodology): “The body mass data were taken from the PanTHERIA database (Jones et al. 2009), which first involved using the synonym information from the Red List database to match up the 32 species that were classified using a different scientific name in the Wilson & Reeder (1993) system used by PanTHERIA.”
