Hello,

Something's up with the way invert subspecies are going out to aggregators.

The IPT report we pull from EMu has both columns called DarInfraspecificEpithet and DarSubspecies. Forms etc pull into the former column, subspecies into the latter column.

On the IPT resource page, infraspecificEpithet is mapped to DarInfraspecificEpithet.

I think either the resource infraspecificEpithet should be mapped to DarSubspecies, or the column with subspecies info on our report should be called DarInfraspecificEpithet. Idk if the latter is possible cause subspeiceis and other rank are different fields in EMu.

So, (1)am I ok to change the mapping on the IPT resource to infraspecificEpithet = DarSubspecies?

And (2), if I do that, what happens to other infraspeices ranks like form?

Thanks! And let me know if you need additional info...
