Thanks @deboas : “Taxonomy details” is what I was looking for.
It also contains links to some deeper explanations kindly provided by @loarie
https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/taxon_frameworks
I would like to comment some examples (which I found rightaway, so I bet all of these situations must be frequent):
-
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/42048/taxonomy_details
Here the name source was Mammals Diversity Database 2019.
And iNaturalist provides a link to the name in that source (so we can grab authorship and other info from there). -
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1096201/taxonomy_details
Here the source is Plants of the World Online, but there is no link to the source name. Why? -
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/67423/taxonomy_details
And here there is not even source at all. Where does this name come from ???
Anyway, this is the kind of informative page I was looking for.
Is it possible to access the taxonomy details using iNaturalist api? (I am trying to automate the process of creating a report of my observations, but including scientific names which I should grab from the linked source databases).
Maybe @loarie or @kueda can tell us a bit more? (this thread is also somehow related but I can’t post there anymore).
Thanks a lot for your help
