Molluscs in the cnidarians

[hyanwong]

The node ([Zygochlamys + Favites halicora]) which is placed in the cnidarians contains about 600 scallop species. I can't figure out how this might have happened,

This also results in duplicate species in radically different places on the tree, for instance https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/argus/opentree9.1@ott449041 and https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/argus/opentree9.1@ott6370755 (both Placopecten magellanicus)

Pectiniidae Vaughan & Wells, 1943 is a former family in Cnidaria as above, based on the coral genus Pectinia Blainville, 1825; presently a synonym of Merulinidae according to WoRMS. Placopecten, however, belongs in Pectinidae Wilkes, 1810 (-i- not -ii-) which is the bivalve family. Evidently someone has put it in the wrong family instance at one time, presumably now corrected.

Someone has flagged this up again on OneZoom. This would be a good test of providing feedback from OneZoom through to the OpenTree. It's not clear to me how we would show on OneZoom that a problem has already been flagged up at this node (ping @snacktavish), especially as I can't find any trace of a link to this issue on the current page at https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/argus/opentree10.4@mrcaott18935ott28681/Favites-halicora--Zygochlamys

It looks like this in not fixed in nexttree (https://nexttree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/argus/opentree11.0@mrcaott18935ott34488/Favites-halicora--Montastraeidae). I'm guessing this is because nexttree is not using the new IRMNG dataset?

Ok, folks. I think this is fixed in the latest taxonomy draft (which should be up on dev next week). Thanks for your patience!

[hyanwong]

This is fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work @kcranston - I hope it is more generally useful (not just for molluscs / cnidaria) too.
