Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Dendronotus. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Dendronotus frondosus 47772
Based out Stout et al. 2010, who found morphological and genetic differences between Pacific specimens and Arctic/Atlantic ones, and thus recommended that all Pacific D. frondosus be considered D. venustus, using the name originally assigned to them by MacFarland.
The authors also found that Atlantic specimens were genetically nested within the Pacific ones, suggesting there may be multiple Pacific species to consider, but thankfully they didn't go so far as to split it further.

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
