Recordings-Taxa

Recordings linked to taxa. This is a join between the recordings and taxa tables, primarily of use in filtering recordings by taxonomic ranks higher than species.

The autocomplete values for the taxonomic ranks are limited to those taxa matched to recordings, for more complete taxonomic autocomplete use Taxa

Data Sources

The sources used are a subset of those from Recordings.
