Annotations - Sex options in drop down menu

Under annotations the options for sex are Cannot Be Determined, Female, or Male. Should an option be added for when you observe a mated pair? (i.e. Male and Female).

Every time I add an observation of a mating pair I secretly wish the drop down for sex included male, female, and “yes”. And that’s why we need good moderators. :wink:

Separate individuals should technically be in separate observations, so you can’t annotate observations with values that refer to multiple individuals. You can use observation fields though, and there’s a Mating Behavior project.
