Continuing the theme of the failings of the GBIF classification I've been playing further with cluster maps to visualise the problem (see this earlier post for an introduction). Browsing through bats in GBIF I keep finding the same species appearing more than once, albeit in different genera.

As part of a project to build a tool to navigate through taxonomic names and classifications I've become interested in quick ways to compare classifications. For example, EOL has multiple classifications for the same taxon, and I'd like to quickly discover what the similarities and differences are.
