[Treebase-devel] More taxa labeling issues

[Michael J. <mjo...@gm...>]

Hello again,



I have a few questions regarding taxa label issues. For the purposes of
this thread, I will be referring to submission 12821 (on treebase.org (not
dev)) as an example.



Firstly, I’m wondering what my procedure should be when I encounter studies
with a numerous taxa with multiple “an unsuccesful attempt has been made to
link this to the external taxonomy” errors (the misspelling in this error
message is addressed in another thread). Based on the TreeBASE introduction
videos, I’m guessing that I should make an attempt to resolve each of these
labeling issues, as enumerated below, but this could add on a GREAT deal of
labor.



If I do need to resolve these issues, I’m guessing that I’ll have to find
the genus for each species in order to validate?



Lastly, I’m not sure what to do in the case of taxa labels containing a
number. For example, in 12821, there is data for both cassinia and
cassinia2. I suppose that this nomenclature probably denotes different
strains of the same species and that I should just put a space between the
cassinia and the 2?



Thanks,



Michael
