when event_id is the appropriate grouping variable, neon_event_id is not included in the ancillary data.
when neon_event_id is included in the data, it is because event_id had to be mapped one-to-one to observation_id so that ancillary data could be included at the observation level. In this case, neon_event_id is included as the appropriate grouping variable for observations of community composition.
