E-Fauna BC Editing/to do list July 2011 'TO DO' FOR WALTER GLITCH--EDIT MY PHOTO SECTION As per my emails (January 13th), there are several problems in this section and some changes needed. For some reason, when you do a search here, and then try to search again, you can't always get the results you are looking for. Examples: I tried using the page search to call up page 4 of our photos, but got only two owl photos from a previous search I had done. So that seach had not been cleared, although I used the 'clear all' button. Next I tried searching for another species (Ursus americanus), but also got only the two owls photos from the previous search. Again, the clear all buttons are not working. This was after I had previously got stuck in the black bears (following a search for them) and could not get out of that to call up 'all thumbnails' from our photo list. Sometimes though, the clear all seems to work, and when it does, you can search again without getting the previous search results. TO DO FOR BRIAN FISH LINK TO ADD add this link to the freshwater fish pages: http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~etaylor/nfrg/fresh.pdf FISH Fix Shark map for Squalus suckleyi The map we show is for the wider ranging Squalus acanthius. Suckley is found only in the Northwest Pacific. Can we change the caption to the correct name? Also note that the fishbase reference links on the fish atlas pages aren't working for this species. One link results in a note that says code unknown in Fishbase, the others links are no longer clickable. Perhaps generally test the links to Fishbase on the fish pages (e.g. American Shad). When I click on them for Pacific Dogfish and American Shad, the page sometimes opens up the fishbase page but not in a new window. Sometimes it doesn't jump to the fishbase page, but opens the atlas page again within another existing tab. Sometimes (e.g. Pacific dogfish) it will open the page, and sometimes the message comes up saying the code isn't in the fishbase database. However, other species page links seem to work. ODD. Note that because suckley is not yet in Fishbase, we should be linking to the Squalus acanthius page. Add a fishbase photo link One thought. We are missing photos for so many fish species, but Fishbase often has photos. Can we add a link to Fishbase photos as we do for Google? FIX MAP fix the caption for Marine Invertebrates (e.g.crabs) change from The above map displays distribution based on experts or on collections databases. The interactive map allows you to add additional information layers and to query the individual records. Details about the databases and the sources used to produce the maps are available here. to The E-Fauna interactive maps present data from several available collection databases, and may include photo records where georeferenced records are available. Read about our data here. ADD STATIC MAP for the rubber boa atlas pages, see Mike Sarell's email for map link, or add our map. Needs fixed for presentation though. email dated 1/28/11 under Ophiucus Consulting PHOTOGRAPHERS URL I notice that the photographers URL link still isn't an acutal link We are still presenting this in E-fauna as..... Peter Llewellyn URL . We should fix this to a direct link on his name if we can? Or at least URL should read View Web Page, or something like that. I know from the emails I'm getting that people don't know what we mean as it is now. STRANGE SEARCH RESULT The butterfly Oeneis bore (the white-veined Arctic) is being called up if you search for Arctic grayling (a fish). The search result, though, is listing the common name as Arctic Grayling. This is because in the atlas page it says that in Europen it is called the Arctic grayling. However, in Canada we call it the white-veined Arctic (which is the common name listed on the atlas page). Somehow we must have listed its common name differently in the database, so we need to switch the database to show the common name we use. But we should probably also add Arctic Grayling to the top of the atlas page, for accuracy. December 2010 BUTTERFLY PAGE PROBLEM If you call up the list of butterfly atlas pages and click on the button for the first species, and then click back, the list shifts from alphabetical (a-z) by genus to backwards alphoabetical (z-a). It's happening with many groups. But should be fixed, many people want to go back to where they were. BUTTERFLY ATLAS PAGE/NAME ADJUSTMENTS Anthocharis stella The map for this species is actually a subspecies map, we need to rename on the atlas page. Ditto for Apodemia mormo and others where there is only one subspecies present....need to think about this and adjust the map names accordingly. TO DO FOR CLAIRE DATA TO BE PROCESSED Spider data--locality information, using location software. Started but not finished...this is to incorpoate Rob Bennett spider data so we can map them. He provide locality but no coordinates, so this could be generated automatically? TO DO FOR ROSE MISSING/NEW NAMES: ADD TO SEARCH AND REVIEW SECTIONS
DATA or INFO WE ARE WAITING FOR: Ticks (King Wu Ottawa) -- request sent today (February 17) - ensure that this list is incorporated into the search features - finish editng the rodent pages, and incorporate dave's comments - finish missing lead photo review...
