How to handle transfer of subgenus to another genus?
2023年11月21日 · A subgenus of rust flies (Asiopsila) was transferred from Loxocera to Psila by Buck & Marshall in 2006, a decision that was affirmed by subsequent authors (Shatalkin & Merz 2010; Shatalkin 2021). That change has lagged in online sources, but it’s now reflected in Systema Dipterorum. I’d like to make that change on iNat but I’m not sure the best way logistically to transfer a subgenus. I ...
Display genus along with subgenus, section, etc - Feature …
2020年7月7日 · Hi, I hope I do this right. When I display an observation list and an observation is at the subgenus level, the genus does not appear, but only the subgenus. Es. in the attached screenshot, the middle observation is “Subgenus Melanthaxia”. That is a subgenus of genus Anthaxia. I think that having the subgenus alone is not very informative unless you are acquainted with the fine taxonomy of ...
Genus to subgenus - Curators - iNaturalist Community Forum
2020年7月12日 · Thanks for the responses! Basically, I am trying to change a genus (Ochlerotatus) to a subgenus (of genus Aedes) and I am assuming that if I edit the taxon level from genus to subgenus, the binomial name will change on iNaturalist from, for example, Ochlerotatus triseriatus to Aedes triseriatus (and presumably the common name “Eastern Treehole Mosquito” should stay the same).
Taxon erroneously marked as endemic - General - iNaturalist …
2024年4月28日 · The subgenus Promus of the genus Eleodes has been marked as endemic to Mexico, which is incorrect, it is found in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Since it is a subgenus I can’t find a way to fix this and I would like any sort of assistance in doing so.
Automatically rename descendant taxa when swapping a genus …
2020年6月16日 · When I swap an input genus into an output genus of a different name and answer “Move children to output?” with Yes, the species in the input genus have swaps automatically created and committed. Those output species have updated names matching the output genus. All is well. Curator time is saved. But when I swap an input genus into an output subgenus of a different name, the children of ...
What is the difference between a genus and a subgenus?
2021年5月28日 · The key point, which others have alluded to, is that taxonomic ranks are generally entirely arbitrary. If a taxonomist makes up a new rank and other people use it, it is just as valid as any other rank. If a taxonomist decided that what was a subspecies is actually a different family, and other taxonomists go along, well then you’ve got a new family. Other than species, where there are far ...
Want to enter an ID to subgenus, but can't - General - iNaturalist ...
2021年2月26日 · When I enter a subgenus, I enter only the name of the subgenus, eg, esula or chamaesyce. You may need to type out most or all of the name, and be careful to select the correct option.
How are species complexes treated? - iNaturalist Community Forum
2019年2月25日 · What’s the difference between a subgenus and a species complex and a tricky pair of species? A subgenus contains species that are thought to be descended from a common ancestor. A tricky pair of species can be difficult to distinguish, but aren’t necessarily closely related. A species complex involves hybrids or incompletely separated species.
Why do some genera have so many species? - Nature Talk
2020年12月1日 · But taxonomists seem not to like the subgenus category all that much. Most subgenera are either ignored or eventually elevated to full genus. This has been true in chipmunks in which there was recognized anywhere from one genus (Tamias) with three subgenera to three genera (Tamias, Eutamias, Neotamias) with no subgenera.
Using a place gives incorrect search results - General - iNaturalist ...
2024年4月29日 · I’m trying to confirm the distribution of a group of trilliums in western North America using a place called Western United States and Canada. As far as I can tell, that place (65360) includes two Canadian provinces (6834,7085) and eleven U.S. states (40,14,34,22,16,50,9,10,52,46,15), so the following pair of queries should produce similar (if not identical) results: All observations of ...
