Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Charadriidae. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Charadrius 4784
The lineage of the former Charadrius plovers has been conclusively shown to be deeply paraphyletic (e.g., Černý and Natale 2022), and the genus Anarhynchus is now used for a number of species (rather than several small or monotypic genera), in addition to Zonibyx and Eudromias for one species each (adapted from Clements text)

No point adding atlases as ranges overlap almost completely, but split still needed. Although there are a large number of observations, there are many fewer Charadrius IDs, so split shouldn't be too difficult
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
