Invasive species not in concatenated

[peterdesmet]

Update: for the missing species, see this file: https://github.com/inbo/alien-species-checklist/blob/master/notebooks/2-peterdesmet-merge-aggregated-checklist-with-shortlist.ipynb

From the 152 species on our shortlist, 138 species were found in the concatenated file (using the GBIF acceptedKey). Hooray! 14 species however are not: some are just not in the concatenated, the others had no GBIF match: we should try to solve these.

Baccharis = 3129663 Parthenium = 3086784

[timadriaens]

most of the others have never been observed and therefore do not occur in the concatenated

[peterdesmet]

Thanks, have added manual match for Baccharis & Parthenium.

Suggestion what GBIF ID I should take for?

• Cotoneaster integrifolius
• Oenothera cruciata

[timadriaens]

C. integrifolius = 3026105 - would be a correct match according to some taxonomical insights so take that one (Manual of Alien Plants: "Lingdi & Brach (2003) ... subsume Cotoneaster integrifolius under C. microphyllus (as var. thymifolius (Baker) Koehne) (see also Klotz 1957).")

[timadriaens]

O. cruciata could be 3188886

[peterdesmet]

O. cruciata could be 3188886

http://www.gbif.org/species/3188886 is a variety Oenothera cruciata var. stenopetala (E.P.Bicknell) Fernald and synonym of Oenothera oakesiana (A. Gray) S. Watson. Do we really want to take that one?

[peterdesmet]

These might be better options:

• http://www.gbif.org/species/3188836: synonym of Camissonia contorta (Dougl.) Kearney
• http://www.gbif.org/species/7926755: synonym of Fuchsia parviflora Lindl.

It is true however that Oenothera cruciata var. stenopetala (E.P.Bicknell) is the only one that is a synonym of another Oenothera.

I've removed names from the shortlist that are now ok in the August GBIF backbone:

Baccharis halimifolia
Cotoneaster integrifolius
Oenothera cruciata
Parthenium hysterophorus

But we should test again if no new missing names popped up.

[peterdesmet]

Todo:

• [ ] Resolve newly missing names (#68): e.g. should bring Alopochen back.
• [ ] Decide on RINSE (#69): note that removing it will likely increase the number of shortlist names not in our checklist.
• [ ] Map shortlist to checklist (using cell.cross)
• [ ] Document in this issue.
• [ ] See which species we know are in Belgium are missing.

Solanum eleagnifolium does occur in Plants, but spelled as Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. (gbifaccepted = 2929892)

[peterdesmet]

The missing species can now be generated by a notebook: https://github.com/inbo/alien-species-checklist/blob/master/notebooks/2-peterdesmet-merge-aggregated-checklist-with-shortlist.ipynb

[peterdesmet]

@timadriaens, as discussed: verify if no important names are omitted from the aggregated list. An alternative is to use the shortlist as another source for the concatenated list... not sure if that will complicate things.
