Hi folks! I'm new to this subreddit, but I figured if anybody could help, it'd be the people here. My lab uses the site GBIF.org to get a sense for what species in a family/genus have occurred in a given area. The way we used to do this was by selecting a certain area with the Location filter, then finding the Taxonomy section (I think?), where a list of all [family/genus] species found in that area would be displayed. Importantly, this was SEPARATE from the list of occurrences. This feature basically looked at all the occurrences and made a list of every unique taxon found. No repeats.

Our problem is thus: GBIF has redesigned some things, and it looks like this feature has been removed, or at the very least changed in a way where I can't figure out how to do it! I can look at ALL the accepted species in a family/genus, WORLDWIDE, but this doesn't help us when we need it within a specific location! The Location filter seems to have disappeared from everything except the Occurrences list.

I would really love to not have to scroll through 30+ pages of occurrences to make a list of every species found in an area. Is there still a way to find this information while filtering for location?

Thanks so much!!
