Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Phthiraptera. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Mallophaga 480288
Mallophaga as traditionally described is paraphyletic and is retired by most taxonomists who specialize in lice. Though names like "Chewing Lice" and "Bird Lice" are still valid terms that many people will recognize, they do not represent a discrete monophyletic group.
Additional references will be provided once my internet connection stabilizes.
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
