Unclear what is intended by this request. Record is listed as being in the US. Variant Spanish name form on the record also has fairly extensive usage in affiliations (e.g. https://doi.org/10.20430/ete.v80i319.155 and https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-9148.2008.00028.x). ROR indexes these variant names on its records to support matching to the primary form.
