Hi Armand,
<div class="">If you take taxa broadly yes a lot as we need to merge many taxonomies into a single one. This is too much to describe here in detail, an overview is here:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-backbone-taxonomy/" class="">https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-backbone-taxonomy/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">If it is on names only not so much. We try to prefer IPNI/ZooBank spellings.</div>
<div class="">We show the authority year always with a comma and try to remove all nomenclatural or taxonomic annotations like "s.l." "comb.nov." from the authorship.</div>
<div class="">If the primary source has no authorship or publication we try to augment that from secondary sources, which could also alter the meaning of the primary one.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Named hybrids should receive a space after the hybrid marker.</div>
<div class="">That is from the top of my head what is happening to names in the backbone, but likely I am have missed things.</div>

we receive authorships in various forms from both the zoological and botanical code. Sometimes with sometimes without spaces in between initials and surnames. When we build the backbone we try to normalize authorships to have a consistent format, thereby those
