Topic: Changing taxon ranks

Chris, is this a question for you?

In Recorder a few species have 'wrong' taxon ranks - mostly aggregates or s.l. that are presented as species and as such are coming out in reports restricted to species.

Can these be corrected?

Re: Changing taxon ranks

Yes, that should be fine - just let me have their TVKs ... maybe in a spreadsheet if there are a few, and tell me which rank you think they should be :)
