Media Collection Problems

Last updated 2 months ago

This collection is for media objects (images, videos, sounds) that somehow end up in the wrong media tab. Often the cause of these misplacements will be homonymy between taxa, but sometimes the cause is more elusive. When you post an image to this collection, we will investigate why it is misplaced and hopefully we can fix the underlying problem.

Please post media objects to this collection and tell us in the annotation where you found them. Or post a taxon and tells us what unexpected images you found in its media collection. Just posting images without telling us where you found them does not help. There's no way for us to reconstruct where you found them.

Something is very fishy here!
Okenia cf. barnardi
Image of Okenia

This image shows up in the Okenia (plant) media collection, although it is tagged as Gastropoda on Flickr. The taxon link on the data object page also goes to the Okenia (snail) page.

Image of Turdus migratorius

Found in Muscicapidae collection 27 Oct 12
from culture
Image of Proterospongia

Found in the Porifera: Hexactinellida collection http://eol.org/pages/6793/overview when actually it is a Choanoflagellate (Choanoflagellida).
Hoffmann's two-toed sloth
Image of Choloepus hoffmanni

This and many other sloth images now appear in the Tardigrada gallery http://eol.org/pages/3204/, as it looks like there's a homonym that showed up in the PaleoDB classification.
Image of Ctenophora pectinicornis
Image of Ctenophora pectinicornis

A homonym -- found in the Phylum Ctenophora gallery

Image of Cantharis fusca

Stephen Thorpe tried to leave an annotation -- it appears that Cantharis fusca shows upin some erroneous gallery. He doesn't remember where he found them (Cyndy).
Image of Mucuna urens
Image of Mucuna urens

Found in the Pica media gallery (birds) http://eol.org/pages/33749. Split Mucuna urens hierarchies to their own new page 24Sept12.

Image of Chlorophanes

Several images of Chlorophanes in the Tenebrionidae media gallery (beetles) http://eol.org/pages/8624/media

Sort value: In Taxon Concept management to do list
Baby
Image of Morus serrator

Many many gannet photos (birds) showing amongst the mulberries (plants) becuase Morus is a known homonym. http://eol.org/pages/72690/media. This should be mostly fixed on the next Flickr re-harvest (after 24Sep12) but we will have to remain vigilant. Anytime someone puts a Morus photo in Flickr it must have enough tags that our system knows whether it is a bird or a plant.

Sort value: Probably fixed
Image of Amphibia
Image of Amphibia

This and many other frogs are appearing on the Caecilians page (lizards) http://eol.org/pages/7529/media?page=3&per_page=40&sort_by=status&status%5B%5D=all&type%5B%5D=all
Plantae > Solanaceae
Physalis
Groundcherry

The Physalis media collection contains many images of species that are not in this genus, but that used to be placed in the genus at one time or another. Aggregation if images based on synonyms is problematic, and EOL needs to reconsider this practice.
Animalia > Phyllodocidae
Eulalia
Image of Euphorbia hyssopifolia
Image of Pittosporum helleri

Image shows up under http://eol.org/pages/1144675/media which is a Euphorb. For some reason one of the classifications of this Pittosporum is directed to this page.
Image of Ceratotheca triloba
Image of Ceratotheca triloba

Many images of this taxon show up in the Bruchia (genus) page http://eol.org/pages/54070/media
File:Ulmus glabra - 1.jpg
Image of Ulmus and 1 other taxon

Fixed! Thanks!
File:White-crowned-Sparrow.jpg
Image of Zonotrichia and 1 other taxon

The Cyanobacteria media collection is overrun with images of sparrows (Zonotrichia. Zonotrichia is a known homonym, also being used for a group of algae, which Catalogue of Life has under Plantae. Maybe somebody else thinks they are cyanobacteria?
Periphylla periphylla lateral
Image of Periphylla periphylla

According to the Weird Life community, "Seems a cnidarian, Periphylla periphylla, somehow snuck into the media images amongst the Onychophorans.."
Image of Raphanus raphanistrum

Image of Felis catus

this is Felis catus, but it is showing up in Birds (Aves), along with a lot of other mammals recently imported. (see Aves images worklist)
Florida paintbrush (Carphephorus corymbosus)
Image of Carphephorus corymbosus

Fixed. Thanks Bart!

Hairy Caterpiller
Image of Nymphalidae

found in unreviewed Orthoptera media ... reason unknown!

Image of Fritillaria and 1 other taxon

This and a number of other botanical photographs appear in the pelagic tunicates media gallery here: http://eol.org/pages/1489/overview
Blue Morpho Morpho peleides
Image of Morpho peleides

Shows up in the Aves (birds) images - tags on fliker and association on image page here seem to be correct.
Amazona farinosa (Mealy Amazon) - Captive
Image of Amazona farinosa

"Mealy" appears to be tagged as the Genus. (I have added correct listing and mistrusted incorrect)
Image of Scaevola plumieri
Image of Thevetia ovata

shows up under scaevola sp. http://eol.org/pages/469671/entries/45275383/media

shows up under scaevola sp. http://eol.org/pages/469671/entries/45275383/media
Animalia > Delphinidae
Steno
Rough-toothed Dolphin

The media collection for this taxon concept page includes 26 images, of which only 11 are appropriate (they are Stenella dolphins). The other 15 go away when you examine the hierarchy entry page media collections.
n781_w1150
Image of Physeter macrocephalus

Identified as "Physeter Macrocephalus" (correct even if I don't like the case of the specific epithet), but the link to that goes to the genus. I've added a "proper" association to the species, but don't see a way to remove or edit the above association.
File:Echinops humilis0.jpg
Image of Echinops and 1 other taxon

Another from Mammalia - there is at least one other of this taxa showing too.

Ipomoea squamisepala
Image of Ipomoea squamisepala

Several photos of this species occur in the media gallery for Ipomoea hederifolia http://eol.org/pages/580932/media though there is no apparent synonym.
Papilionidae>Papilio demoleus Swallowtail butterfly 0006
Image of Papilio

Found in Geometridae, but it is clearly a butterfly http://eol.org/pages/827/overview
Cantharis fusca Linnè, 1758
Image of Cantharis fusca

Stephen tried to leave an annotation but EOL wasn't working. He doesn't remember where he found them (Cyndy).

Image of Siganus canaliculatus

Also in that gastropod collection http://eol.org/pages/2448/media Not even a mollusc, even more embarrassing!
Placopecten magellanicus

Abelha // Small Carpenter Bee (Ceratina sp.)
Image of Ceratina

Shows up in collection for Foraminifera http://eol.org/pages/4888/media . I've tracked it down further to the Fischerinidae: http://www.eol.org/pages/4913/overview which WoRMS asserts includes Ceratina.
File:Chlorophanes spiza-20090124.jpg
Image of Chlorophanes

From Stephen Thorpe: Chlorophanes (bird) images showing as unreviewed Tenebrionidae (beetle) media, because Chlorophanes (junior homonym) is also a tenebrionid genus. See: http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chlorophanes
Herbarium Specimen Image
Image of Millettia

shows up in media collection for Buliminida http://eol.org/pages/27453593/media
Escaravelho // Beetle (Ceramida sp.)
Image of Ceramida bedeaui

This image, clearly associated with Scarabaeidae, is showing up in the Lepidoptera media collection. http://eol.org/pages/747/media. There are plenty of good taxonomy tags on the flickr image that should enable any disambiguation.
Herbarium Specimen Image
Image of Leptostylis

This plant image found in a crustacean media collection: http://eol.org/pages/1243/media
File:Ardea herodias5.jpg
Image of Ardea herodias

Pictures of great blue herons are polluting the Great Egret media collection. There's nothing in the Names tab of either species that would explain this.
Lettuce coral (Pavona sp.)
Image of Pavona

A number of photos from this genus appear in the Lepidoptera media gallery http://eol.org/pages/747/media
File:Diplodus vulgaris.jpg
Image of Diplodus vulgaris

The media collection of the fly genus Sargus is full of fish pictures. This is because the fly genus is an unreplaced junior homonym of a fish genus (which is a junior synonym of Diplodus) ... stho002
