Taxon distribution validator

Upload a tab-delimited file containing columns of taxa (as DDb entity ids) and grid-references. Output consists of the uploaded file with additional columns comparing the records against known distribution.

N.B. anomalies reported by this tool do not necessarily imply that a record is invalid, only that it may be worth scrutinising more closely.

Processing of large files may take a few minutes, the results will be emailed to you.
