I think this would be great, but not sure what the right source would be. I'll leave this as an issue, and for now will continue with the google links (which generally go to wikipedia or microbewiki - less than ideal, but i don't know of a better, existing solution).

From Holly Menninger:

For our own work, I've struggled with how do we give our participants access to meaning beyond just the names and abundance - ie, why is it interesting that phylum A is so abundant? Is there a way to link to some natural history information about taxa?
