iNaturalist taxon autocomplete #
Autocomplete checks the local dictionary, the local iNaturalist cache and then iNaturalist online. If iNaturalist returns no suitable result, it automatically falls back to CoL XR: first the local CoL XR tree and then the ChecklistBank API. Local names remain primary.
CoL XR fallback #
A CoL XR result is labelled Catalogue of Life XR. It provides a local scientific name and taxonomic tree, but no iNaturalist taxon_id. The name can therefore be saved and searched in ENTOMONE, while publication to iNaturalist remains blocked until the taxon exists in iNaturalist.
How to use this topic #
Use this page as the practical reference for the ENTOMONE feature named in the title. It follows the English terminology contract: site for stanowisko, locality for the text place on one record, record for an observation or working entry, and dataset for the working data collection.
Important rule #
When this topic affects records, media, Google Drive or iNaturalist, treat local ENTOMONE data as the source of your working database. External services are connected workflows, not replacements for the private database.
