Re: Species distribution
Bit head in the clouds really, but i was wondering if it would be possible in the future to link to the NBN services - single species search, to produce an embedded map/'link to' a species when pulled up through the taxon dictionary?
Reason being R6 is often used here (local record centre) by volunteers (as i am sure it is elsewhere) to find valid scientific names, however they can sometimes pick things that may be slightly dubious or questionable. It would be very useful for them to be able to see straight off that a species has not been recorded in our area or is very rarely recorded.
Alternatively, it may be just as useful to be able to do the same thing but using the in-house data base, e.g. a quick link for a point map of all currently held records of that species?
