Re: Taxon Grouping
I'm new to the forum so i apologise in advance if my comments have been covered elsewhere, i have done a quick search.
I am currently working a lot with Marine Records, in extracting them from the database i have been using a boundary and in the case of 'Marine birds' using the Seabird 2000 checklist. However for other marine species there doesn't seem to be a single complete list i can match up to and i am currently having to remove non-marine species by hand.
This is not really a problem for most groups, however for molluscs and crustaceans in particular it is becoming more time consuming, and with the prospect of an increase in these types of records i would like to know if there is an easier way, which surely there must be!
Also, i am curious if it would be possible in the future to separate marine molluscs and marine crustaceans as has been done with mammals?
