There are a few cases that hide observations on the taxon page and Explore page maps by default:

  • if the community disagrees with the observation taxon (as Charlie said, if the observer’s ID is maverick to the community’s ID and they opted out of community ID)
  • observation lacks lat/long
  • has a large accuracy radius, which is defined as ~50 km, but varies depending on latitude
  • marked as captive/cultivated in the Data Quality Assessment section (DQA)
  • marked as having an inaccurate location in the DQA
  • marked as not having evidence of an organism in the DQA
  • the observation or any of its photos are flagged
