Sorry, I’m not sure the best way to phrase that. The taxon_id
parameter will include all matches, for example taxon_id=47125
(angiosperms) returns all matching observations of any angiosperm regardless of taxon (pin oak, yes!):
But using the field:Host=47125
parameter only returns observations with the observation field Host: Angiospermae
, but nothing more specific than that (pin oak, nope):
Is there anything I can do to make the field:Host
parameter inclusive of matches for any taxon that belongs to the searched taxon? Like taxon_id
does?
I use this parameter to make IDs in a project and often I need to be less specific than the parameter allows. For example today I had to run 15 or so individual queries just to see if there were any more matches on different species in the genus Solanum.
