I’ve noticed that while most taxon pages default to the “Taxonomy” tab, for taxa below genus and above species, it instead defaults to the “About” tab. Is there a particular reason for this or is this a bug? This is probably trivial for most users, but it can make flipping through nested taxon pages somewhat frustrating.

Example: [genus Rudbeckia](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/62742-Rudbeckia) vs. [section Rudbeckia](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/888920-Rudbeckia) default tab
