Topic: Use of tvk vs binomial

Thanks Duncan - I don't have the time right now to investigate deeply but is there a way to use our TVK to bring up maps? I'm a bit concerned that the only examples I've seen are with binomials.

Hi Chris,
   I moved this to a new thread.
   Regarding maps tvks, do you mean like this?
      https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrence … ab_mapView

Re: Use of tvk vs binomial

Ahh, thanks ... but can you check these examples? I think there is a bug:

Phasia barbifrons
https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrence … ab_mapView

Alophora barbifrons
https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrence … ab_mapView

You'll notice the first gives a nice map but the second (a junior synonym) doesn't redirect to the recommended name and so doesn't bring up any map. It also (mysteriously) says that the rank is unknown, but it is all correct in the database.
