fetch_taxon_keys.py will first attempt to search using the provided column name, which contains the species names.
It also takes as an argument another column name, where preferred authorities are listed. If the initial search returns nothing, the script will search using a combined string from the species name + authority name. In most cases, this second attempt finds a match on GBIF.
