This generic "swap" has very serious ramifications. Spartina alterniflora is an widespread, species which is considered highly invasive in coastal ecosystems. It is well-known outside the botanical or even "grass" literature, by the name Spartina. Changing this generic allocation will cause great confusion in places that have developed monitoring programs for the spread of this species. If it is necessary for some "higher' reason to make this change, I suggest that [Spartina] be included in the documentation to forestall chaos in the fields other than grass systematics.
I understand your concern, but browsing for Spartina alterniflora will still return the same species. It's a 1-to-1 swap, not a split. But you can set the common name to Spartina if you want.
This is part of our change to Plants of the World (POWO) as the main taxonomic backbone for plants on iNat.
Los desacuerdos no deseados ocurren cuando un padre (B) es
disminuido al mover un hijo (E) a otra parte del árbol taxonómico,
resultando en que los IDs existentes del padre sean interpretados
como desacuerdos con los IDs existentes del hijo movido.
Identification
ID 2 del taxón E será un desacuerdo no deseado con la ID 1 del taxón B después del cambio de taxon
Si disminuir a un padre resulta en más de 10 desacuerdos no deseados, debes dividir al padre después de cambiar al hijo para reemplazar las identificaciones existentes de
el padre (B) con identificaciones que no están en desacuerdo.
