Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Ravenala. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Ravenala madagascariensis 68065
Since all individuals of the genus were previously identified as the only known species Ravenala madagascariensis, I am doing a taxon split for the genus in order to draw attention to the fact that the previous identifications aswell as new observations in Madagascar must be checked carefully.
Thomas Haevermans (whom I know) and team have made a great work about Ravenala classification. However, I am pretty sure that all Ravenala's observations outside of Madagascar, belong to R. madagascariensis. And this is a huge number of observations. But I don't know if it is possible to perform a geographic negative search (NOT in Madagascar) and apply a global taxon change to the numerous relevant observations. If this is not possible, this will be a tedious work to do...
@kai_schablewski can you make sure to add deviations when you curate away from our reference (in this case POWO which treats Ravenala blancii s sensu lato) thanks!
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
