I reran the command after adding the spaces between the semi-colons (I thought just to try it)
qiime feature-classifier classify-consensus-vsearch
--i-query Qiime_try/rep-seqs.qza
--i-reference-reads arthropoda_sequence-BOLD.qza
--i-reference-taxonomy arthropoda_taxonomy-BOLD.qza
--p-threads 3
--o-classification vsearch-consensus-classification.qza
--verbose
And it seems to have rectified what issues I had before.
The output for
cat taxonomy.tsv | grep ‘s__.’ | head
is now
d9a139aad43b47127cdf950895e6c2e9 k__Animalia; p__Arthropoda; c__Insecta; o__Trichoptera; f__Phryganeidae; g__Agrypnia; s__Agrypnia improba
(there's more it's just a bit clunky)
And the taxonomy collapse works to the species level
I attached the most recent vsearch output to the google drive nonetheless.
