Testing synonymy search

URL testing components:

  • ?test-break-taxrefine
    • Breaks the URL for TaxRefine.

Here are some names which activate odd behavior:

  • Anser hutchinsii
    • No data on Map of Life, but we have data on its synonym.
  • Felis tigris
  • Eutamias minimus
  • Cleome serrulata
    • We have records for both synonyms.
  • Antelope
    • It's not a binomial, but GBIF has a genus-level synonym
      for it.
  • Ostrea glabra
  • Zetes pilosus
    • Multiple synonyms, we only have data on one of them.
  • Cribrochalina chinensis
    • We find synonymy information on GBIF, but have no data on
      any of the synonyms.
  • Neverita didyma
    • GBIF says this is a synonym of Glossaulax didyma, which it also says is a synonym of Neverita didyma, so the code goes into an infinite loop unless it is smart enough to figure out that
  • Bubalus rothschildi
    • According to Carsten's synonymy table, this is a synonym of Alcelaphus buselaphus; TaxRefine has no information on this species name. You can use this to test that we're querying CartoDB correctly.
