Eli Sarnat commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
I think having the maps available on the overview page is a great idea, and the ranking by rating makes good sense. Another good improvement.

Cyndy Parr commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Tanya Higgins: Not yet. The map thumbnail that shows up in the Overview tab will be the one with the highest rating from the Maps tab (so be sure to rate maps everyone!). Right now, the only place the iNaturalist maps show up is on a special tab on collections, for example Birds in North American cities

Tanya Higgins commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Cyndy Parr: Sadly, the organisms I've been collecting as of late haven't had much information associated, but I think the maps are an excellent idea. Do they work with the new observation features?

Cyndy Parr commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
Anybody here notice we now have maps on the overview tab? What do you think?

Tanya Higgins commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Jennifer Hammock: Some of the Wiki entries do have brief sections on captive care, and I certainly wouldn't recommend adding anything terribly detailed, but I think it might be a nice blank to fill in. I have started a collection of species kept as exotic pets and will be doing what I can to fill in information (sooooo many of them are completely blank), just want to make sure the information I provide is worthy. :)

@Bart C.: We desperately need to refresh our content from BOLD but they are not responding and so far the process is manual. I will copy your comment here: http://eol.org/collections/26028/newsfeed so that they will see that users are asking.

@Cyndy Parr: Did you find the problem? I still don't see the images of this provider.

Jennifer Hammock commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Tanya Higgins: Hi, Tanya! We certainly don't have much of that kind of information- it hasn't been our emphasis so far. I think Captive care info could go comfortably in the Notes chapter. (You can add a subtitle to any text object, to clarify the topic.) Thoughts on this, anyone from the zoo, aquarist or horticultural communities?
-
Tanya Higgins commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
Would it be appropriate to add a "Captive Care" section to those species often kept as exotic pets? Also, would it be appropriate to list the various "morphs" obtained through captive breeding for reptiles like ball pythons and leopard geckos? If so, how might that best be done?

@Gonçalo Themudo: We've got lots of pages for hybrids in plants, and a few in animals, e.g., Anas platyrhynchos x Cairina moschata, Samia cynthia ricini x Bombyx mori, Ateles paniscus x Ateles fusciceps. Let me know if you want me to create a T. marmoratus x T. cristatus page, so you can move the image there. It would take a couple of days to show up on EOL. Once it is up, you could untrust the Triturus blasii association and add the association with the new Ateles paniscus x Ateles fusciceps page.

Gonçalo Themudo commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Katja Schulz: Sorry, Katja. My mistake, I meant to say that T. blasii is supposed to be T. marmoratus X T. cristatus. As T. carnifex used to be T. cristatus carnifex, I am not sure if T. blasii could have been used at some point to describe hybrids between any marbled newt (T. marmoratus and T. pygmaeus) and any crested newt (T. cristatus, carnifex, dobrogicus and karelinii) but only marmoratus and cristatus meet naturally.
-
Katja Schulz commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
Triturus marmoratus x Triturus pygmaeus? Now i'm confused. In the image description, it actually says that this individual is a hybrid between T. carnifex and T. marmoratus marmoratus.
-
Gonçalo Themudo commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
Well, if there are other pages for hybrids, I would move the page to "Triturus marmoratus x Triturus pygmaeus". I can write a short description. Otherwise, perhaps just move the image to both the parent taxa.
-
Katja Schulz commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Gonçalo Themudo: This is an interesting problem. It looks like we have this page only because we get this one image from Calphotos for the name "Triturus blasii." What do you think should happen to this image? We could create a new EOL taxon page for the hybrid "Triturus marmoratus x Triturus cristatus" and get rid of the Triturus blasii page? Or we could keep the Triturus blasii page, and you could add a Brief Summary explaining that this is a hybrid, rather than a separate species. We could also get rid of the Triturus blasii page and attach the image of the hybrid to both of the parent taxa, along with an explanation that the image represents a hybrid. What do you think?
-
Gonçalo Themudo commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
What to do with http://eol.org/pages/6995275/overview ? The page refers to a name of what was once thought to be a different species, but is in fact merely hybrids of Triturus marmoratus and Triturus cristatus.

@Michael Wunderli: Michael, if you edit your profile and request curator status (either assistant or full), you will be able to add common names to the Names tab of any page. Thanks for offering to help!
