Will the unatlased fuscus records remain as fuscus or will they become Menelaides as suggested by the heads up blurb?
Have made an atlas that excludes Australia for P. fuscus to ensure IDs aren't downgraded. It can be refined later if further splits are made of non-Aust populations.
thanks Ralph, I'll have a look now
and for completeness, here is a link to a PDF of the paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10tv8cGJEAXbJuwhR0dJIM4BIRzX6ViLc/view?usp=sharing
ah I see you already committed this, sorry for not commenting earlier, I was in the field for the entirety of today
fyi @pewin they should all be automatically swapped over now, let us know if you see any errors or issues
Thanks - I suspect the PNG and Pacific Island "Fuscous" Swallowtail are also Capaneus Swallowtail (of various subspecies) but I can't access the paper to confirm that.
Cheers
Peter
if you click the link above, I uploaded the paper for you
Thank you - the island species definitely need a revisit at some stage
@thebeachcomber here's the split that deals ONLY with Australian observations. I'm not all that comfortable with doing a partial split like this but it seems a pragmatic approach. I'm unable to view the paper so can't do the species across its entire range, even if I was inclined to. Your thoughts? Feel free to commit if you don't see any problems with it.
