Sydney Anderson, a past president of the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM), conceived the idea of the publication series (Mammalian Species) and convinced the Board of Directors of the ASM to support its publication (Gardner et al. 2020). The first Mammalian Species account was that on Macrotus waterhousii, authored by Anderson himself, published on 29 December 1969. On 17 April 2021, Mammalian Species account number 1000 was published (Fig. 1), Crocuta crocuta (Carnivora: Hyaenidae), authored by Virginia (Ginny) Hayssen and Paula Noonan. Publication of these 1,000 accounts was possible through the efforts of 966 authors, 18 editors and managing editors, and 24 associate editors (Verts and Birney 1994; Leslie and Hamilton 2019). Many authors have produced multiple accounts, with the most prolific author being Troy L. Best, who has authored 75 accounts (55 as first author, of which 23 were as sole author); most of his accounts were on North American species.
