@erwin_pteridophilos: Shall we merge this field with Host which is a standard field serving the same purpose?

Posted by tony_wills about 8 years ago

I do agree to merge redundant fields serving the same purpose.
For usual there should have been added just single hosts to symbiotic or parasitic species.

Posted by erwin_pteridophilos about 8 years ago

In many cases it could be replaced with one of the standard "Interaction: " fields. So to indicate the interaction and the host species all in one go we could use:
"Interaction: Parasite of rhododendrons and azaleas"
