Quoting from Arbogast 2017:
The mtDNA control region sequence data presented here show that although flying squirrels from California are part of the Pacific Coastal mtDNA clade (i.e., G. oregonensis), they are notably divergent from the non-California members of the PC clade.
Our proposed taxonomic change affects subspecies nomenclature in the following ways: 5 subspecies (G. s. californicus, G. s. lascivus, G. s. stephensi, G. s. flaviventris, and G. s. klamathensis) would clearly fall under G. oregonensis and would therefore require the requisite taxonomic change.
@jwidness there is a taxon framework for mammals that only extends down to species. Since this only involves ssp you should be able to make this swap correct? Before taxon frameworks 'complete taxa' always went down to ssp so this wouldn't have worked then, but the new system should accomodate this unless there's a bug
Also let me know if you want to help curate the mammal taxonomy covered by the framework - right now its using IUCN GMA - not sure if folks are still advocating moving to ASM
@loarie I'm getting the message:
Heads up: One or both of the input taxa involved in this change are within a taxon framework Only site admins or curators of that taxon framework can commit changes affecting covered taxa.
I assume this is because the swap moves the subspecies from one species epithet to a different one, so technically involves a change at the species level.
I'd be happy to help curate mammal taxonomy.
hmm - that should be allowed so this is a bug. Let me look into this
I was able to add the subspecies G. o. californicus, I just couldn't swap it for G. s. californicus.
@loarie any progress on this bug?
@loarie I still don't have an option to commit this, so I'm assuming the bug is still there and I'm not a curator for mammals yet?
working on this but not done - thanks for your patience
No problem, sorry to keep bothering you.
@jwidness - this should be fixed. (e.g. iNat should realize that Glaucomys oregonensis californicus is not covered by a curated taxon framework and therefore not protected) Can you try committing this?
The commit worked -- i.e. G. o. californicus replaced G. s. californicus (which is now inactive), but I'm not seeing IDs auto-updated. Not sure if I did something wrong or I just need to wait?
prob just need to wait
Yep, I checked back seconds before the outage and it was updated, but I couldn't get a comment in before it went down.
cool!
@loarie this seems like a pretty straightforward swap
