adding taxa

I am currently adding taxa to the list for inclusion in this collection project. I hope to have upwards of 300 taxa eventually included, based mostly on correlation of iNaturalist observations and USGS ultramafic rock maps.

One of my purposes is to encourage observers to "trust" the project so that I can get access to unobscured coordinates for endangered taxa without risk to the plants, which I love (and will never release such locations in any way). This is important especially in California, where a substantial fraction of serpentine-tolerant taxa are highly restricted endemics with obscured locations, which makes it impossible to get quantitative information on their exact relationship to serpentine soils.

taxa

I have completed the initial list of taxa of interest, a mixture of known serpentine endemics and species that probably have some serpentine tolerance (part of the goal of the project is to test that). If you have any additional taxa that you think should be added, please let me know. In particular, I have probably missed many very rare ones.

it works! hmm not!

I tried my first download of location data with obscured location removed (one test taxon) and it worked as expected. Thanks so much for all of your help!

Hmm well I thought it was working but I used a taxon that had both obscured and normal locations and got back only the normal ones, so apparently there is a system bug. Thanks user efmer for pointing this out.

(note - only the admin can get the unobscured locations)
