I was holding off on this split until I could figure out how exactly to atlas the two species in Morocco and Algeria, but ended up sort of forgetting about it - sorry about that. Unfortunately, looking at eBird records of Crested, Maghreb, and Crested/Maghreb from before 2016 (i.e. mostly records reassigned in the split), it looks like there's widespread overlap between the two species (at least seasonally), so it's probably safest to just add all of Morocco and northern Algeria to the Crested Lark atlas (including areas of overlap with the Maghreb Lark atlas) and let people manually re-assign their records from those areas - which is what I'll do now.
After this split is committed, all of the species names in Clements should be in iNat (although it might be good to double-check in case I missed any splits), but there are still several names representing outdated taxon concepts (i.e. when a species was split in Clements, but instead of committing a taxon split on iNat, the newly split-off species were just added to iNat alongside the old species); I might not be able to get many of those fixed between now and Thursday, but I'll be completely free after then.
cool - I noticed that. We have a new feature called 'complete taxa' where taxa can be marked as complete (in this case from Class Aves down to species) for extant taxa and no one else can edit the tree except 'taxon curators' - would you like to be a 'taxon curator' for this clade for the time being?
cool - check the 'total species observed' stat, taxonomy and trends tab here https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/3-Aves
Remember its ignoring extinct taxa and ssp but should otherwise should be in sync with Clements-Checklist-v2017-August-2017 so beyond this split I don't think there's more work to do until Clements updates
thanks for starting this maxkirsch would be good to commit - anything I can do to help?
