The Symbiota Support Hub continues to troubleshoot ongoing portal slowdowns. To address performance issues on our servers, we have made a temporary change to portals operating on the newest codebase (3.3.9) that will affect data downloads. We expect that these changes will be reversed in Symbiota 3.4, which should be released before the end of 2025.
- The associatedOccurrences field will no longer be included in the occurrences.csv file of your output.
- The associatedTaxa field in occurrences.csv will only draw from the data in the “associatedTaxa” field. It will not include “taxon observation” associations that were added via the Linked Resources (i.e., Associations) module.
- Exsiccati name and number will no longer be included in the dynamicProperties field for most portals except the Bryophyte and Lichen portals.
If you need immediate access to any of the data that you are no longer able to download, please contact the Hub (help@symbiota.org) for a custom download.
