I find inconsistencies or confusion about querying for “(not) Introduced” observations: I did the following query https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?captive=false&introduced=false&locale=en&place_id=6793&taxon_id=18874&view=species Notice that in the url I wrote: introduced=false From …

[image] langlands: Why is this? Is the Introduced=false in the url query pointing to some other field that is not the Observation field: Introduced? Yes, that is the problem. The URL parameter is querying the establishment means for each observation taxon in the place checklist where it occu…

Thank you. I did as you said, now all these three species have for Mexico Status Establishment Means=Introduced https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/7116-Mexico-Check-List?q=&view=photo&taxon=119156&iconic_taxon=3&observed=any&threatened=any&establishment_means=any&occurrence_status=not_absent&…

[image] langlands: But they continue to appear in the query: Sometimes it takes a few hours for changes like that to propagate through the database. Try the query again in a few hours and see if they are still appearing. [image] langlands: You mention Introduced should be handled at sta…

Thank you. They continue to appear in the query but now with the label “IN” in the top corner of the photo of the species. So what’s happening here? Is the Introduced=false in the url pointing to another field in the database? See for example that all three species of Agapornis that are in the chec…

In order for some observation attributes to be searchable (especially attributes inhered from associations like with taxa, places, projects, etc), observations need to be re-indexed in our search database. This re-indexing usually happens in a queue, so when the indexing happens is variable dependin…

Thank you @jdmore , I see that these three species are no more in the query. However, now the genus Agapornis appears in the results of the query. Remember that Agapornis personatus was one of the species that appeared before but that you made possible its exclusion by the fav/unfav trick. Clickin…

I don’t know that the Introduced query has any affect when it is set on taxa at ranks higher than species. One of the staff might need to answer that question.

@jdmore I’m not sure what you meant. The url query is at species level […view=species ] There are two things happening: The url query is returning a genus even when it includes [view=species ] The checklist method for setting the Establishment means = Introduced seems not to be possible for gener…

Sorry, any staff member ( @pleary ?) that may shed some light on why the Agapornis genus is still appearing in the url query with introduced=false and view=species https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?captive=false&introduced=false&locale=en&place_id=6793&taxon_id=18874&view=species Even when i…

[image] langlands: The url query is at species level […view=species ] The “Species” tab of the Explore page is actually “taxa”, not species. More on that here: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/how_inaturalist_counts_taxa To show only species you have to add rank=species to the URL (or selec…

Now that the genus Agapornis has been marked as introduced in Mexico, and the three observations reindexed, it’s no longer appearing in the search link above.
