OK, closer inspection shows that this is expected behavior for our tip-taxa search.
According to the NCBI taxonomy, Lynx is not a descendant of Felis but a sibling under Felinae. As such, its line of ancestry will not cross Felis or Canis, so 'POLLY Carnivora' won't be found.
Similarly, Procyon is descended from neither Felis nor Canis, so again, won't work as a tip-taxon search given the location defined for 'POLLY Carnivora'.
To get the expected results, we should either locate this calibrated node directly on the eponymous taxon in NCBI + Carnivora ...or (if we can't define a one-sided location) on all of its immediate children: + Caniformia + Feliformia + unclassified Carnivora
Try to reproduce this, then diagnose as needed. The calibration 'POLLY Carnivora' was located with these tips: + Felis + Canis
Here's what happens when we search using the tip-taxa filter(s):
