Add definition for isoparatype. #59

Closed MattBlissett closed 3 years ago

MattBlissett commented 3 years ago

Update: just add isoparatype, and await advice from a taxonomic expert for the rest (see #60).

~Two type status terms (hypotype, plesiotype) are present in the GBIF API, but not in the vocabulary. They were added to the API after this discussion.~

Another term, isoparatype, is requested to be added by ALA.

This PR will add ~the three~ a single terms with these definitions:

~Hypotype: A specimen that was not part of the original type series of the species, but is known from a published description, figure, or listing. [Zoo.]~

Isoparatype: A duplicate of a paratype, compare paratype. [Bot.]

~Plesiotype: A specimen upon which a subsequent or additional description or illustration of a previously named species is based. [Zoo.]~

See also https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/backend/issues/949 . I'll wait for advice from the Catalogue of Life taxonomy group (or other appropriate experts) before merging this; it's difficult to find good definitions for these terms.

https://species-id.net/zooterms/hypotype, https://species-id.net/zooterms/plesiotype and http://www.insdc.org/controlled-vocabulary-typematerial-qualifer are the sources.
