If I understand it correctly, the species count for a project in CNC is the unique tips of tree of life observed at any level (does not have to be species) while the users’ stats sums up only observations IDed to species level.
The meaning of the two species counts thus differs. I suggest to count at any taxonomic level for both stats to avoid the current confusing situation.
Leaf taxa versus species (despite the fact that BOTH say sp)
Very confusing! On the Cape Town project we have 2115 sp - but on the umbrella project only 1924. For CNC we are ‘running in 2 races’.
