Species by places vs species by rectangular/circular area

@codrin_bucur

include unverifiable observations in the list of species

this already exists in the Explore page

@codrin_bucur

include obscured observations in the list of species

this is already done by default. but as others have noted, this won’t work if you’re filtering on a smaller custom place where the obscured coordinates fall outside the bounding box of the place. this is just how the geoprivacy functionality works.

you can filter for only obscured observations by adding parameters manually in the URL. see https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-use-inaturalists-search-urls-wiki/63#heading--geoprivacy.

@codrin_bucur

Probably and hopefully with these 2 checkboxes enabled, the results will be identical

it’s not identical. as i noted before:

@pisum

there are also unobscured observations that have really big positional accuracy values which will prevent them from being found when filtering on the smaller place

@codrin_bucur

These checkboxes could be then carried over to the checklist corresponding to the place

it’s unlikely the place checklists that currently exist are going to be changed. as i understand it, there are already plans to make a new “dynamic” version of place checklists that will be similar to the dynamic life lists for users.
