Integrated Pest Managment

Taxa

The IPM (Integrated Pest Managment) uses DiversityTaxonNames as a backbone for Taxa. By default the public available database DiversityTaxonNames_TaxaVaria on the server tnt.diversityworkbench.de is used as a source. If you want to build your own source, you have to follow the guidelines below to ensure the functionallity of the forms.

Insert the preview image as a resource (see above) with the Type preview (see below). The title of the image must correspond to the stage resp. remain as defined in the taxon list. If the preview image is taken from a foreign source you shoud enter the source, copyright etc. of image (see below).

The original image of the preview should be included as as second image with coresponding data but Type image (see below). These images will be shown if the user clicks on the preview image in the table. You may add additional images.
