associatedTaxa

[qgroom]

Not a bug, but a feature request perhaps.
I'd like to be able to extract the associatedTaxa field from occurrences.
For example, if I have a parasite I'm interested in how can I pull out all the host species mentioned in datasets?
Regards
Quentin

Thanks for your question. Can you give some example parasite names you'd be interested in.

[qgroom]

I'm interested in a wide variety of organism intereactions, I more interested if people are collecting the information, rather than the data itself.
Some examples of plant parasites I picked out as examples are...
Nuytsia floribunda
Cuscuta europaea
Arceuthobium oxycedri
Anthobolus filifolius
Viscum album
Balanophora fungosa
Orobanche uniflora
Orobanche minor
Monotropa hypopitys
Conopholis americana

Also good examples of animal parasites are...
Remora remora
Conopholis americana
Simenchelys parasitica
Dasypsyllus gallinulae
Pinnotheres pisum
Varroa destructor
Sacculina carcini
Clonorchis sinensis
Andricus quercuscalifornicus
Phytomyza ilicis

thanks for the examples

I more interested if people are collecting the information, rather than the data itself.

so you mainly want presence/absence of of the associatedTaxa field? or any host information, regardless of field? because there appears to be host notes in other fields, e.g., occurrenceRemarks in this occurrence http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1211989229

[qgroom]

I need to see what is in it too, so that I can judge how useful it is.
Yes, it would be useful to see what it in occurrenceRemarks. I suppose there might also be data in associatedOccurrences, associatedOrganisms & organismRemarks.

@qgroom This seems like a use case that'd be more useful applied across data sources, i'll get something up on github and ping you soon

[sckott]

@qgroom started something here https://github.com/ropenscilabs/hoasts to play around with ideas

[qgroom]

Great! I'm just leaving for two weeks holiday, but I'll take a look once I get back, sooner if we have internet.

[sckott]

sounds good

@qgroom closing this given hoasts, hope that's okay

[qgroom]

Sure! It is an interesting and important subject and I'll have to see if I
can work on it more.
