29.12.2023 20:40, Peter Khramov: comment on The petition in defense of biological nomenclature

There are proposals to correct existing taxa names of living organisms in order to change "inappropriate". For example, names of "controversial" persons, as well as words that can offend adherents of certain religions or speakers of certain languages. The results of the implementation of such proposals — mass renaming — can be very negative, and the impression of the authors of such ...

28.12.2023 21:56, Peter Khramov: comment on Autosuggestions by synonyms and local species names when uploading new photos or editing previously uploaded photos

Earlier, when filling the "taxon" field in the photo upload form (or when editing "taxon" field of a previously uploaded photo), autosuggestions worked only for the main taxon name (full correspondence or incomplete correspondence) and did not worked for synonyms, genera combinations and local (for example, English) names. In some cases, this was inconvenient: for example, you upload a photo, ...

18.12.2023 20:54, Peter Khramov: comment on New map mark radius indicating glitch was fixed

Nadezhda, it seems, according to this photo — no way to identify the object :--) If there is a more detailed photo, please, send it.

06.12.2023 20:34, Peter Khramov: comment on Linking photos to map marks, unlinking and transferring photos from one map mark to another

Now you can link your photos to map marks on the map section not only on the photo page, but also on the page for editing the photos you have uploaded. On the edit page a new text field has now been added for each photo: “Map mark”. If you've already linked a photo to a mark on the map, the mark number is indicated in the new field. If the photo is linked incorrectly, you can move it to ...

01.12.2023 21:35, Peter Khramov: comment on Now you can change the color scheme of the site

If you do not like the standard color design of the Insecta.pro website and/or if the standard colors do not have enough contrast between the text and the background for you — now you can switch to alternative colors. And if you get tired of alternative ones, you can always go back to the main colors. In order to change background and font colors you see on the site pages, you need to: 1. Log ...

01.12.2023 14:13, Peter Khramov: comment on

Good afternoon. There was a pause in the active work of the website, and now a major reform of its technical part and content of the website is undergoing, plus the issue of integration with the entomological forum is being resolved. The exchange section will be restored in a new format, but not now — after updating the main sections. I assume that it'll take place in the spring, but I won't ...

01.12.2023 1:36, Peter Khramov: comment on Many minor errors have been fixed in the designation of the Author and Year in taxa, as well as in the naming of synonyms

During November, a lot of work was carried out to correct errors in the designation of the Author and Year for species and other taxa, as well as in the names of synonyms. The changes affected about 37,000 taxa. And yes, the "comma issue" has also been resolved.

Great report!

22.10.2023 23:27, Peter Khramov: comment on Cimex lectularius

Apparently, they taught wrong. The very formulation of the question "why are such and such living organisms needed in nature” is incorrect.

13.10.2023 22:43, Peter Khramov: comment on

Nikita, I think you should read the book Children of Time (and maybe the entire cycle of the same name), which was written by comrade Adrian Tchaikovsky. If you don't read in English, it is also available in Russian translations, but I don't know about the quality of these translations. The book describes the life of intelligent spiders quite well for popular literature, including the author even ...
