Multiple specimens with the same code #5

Open AimeRankin opened 9 years ago

AimeRankin commented 9 years ago

@rossmounce In a lot of the Zootaxa papers, there are specimens with codes like '1951-427'. Multiple specimens from a paper often share the same code. When it comes to removing duplicate codes from a paper, what should I do here?

I could maybe record the code in one entry and put 'not specific' in the others?

If it's entomological this may be referring to the index lot, rather than the specimen code. So 'not specific' (to specimen) for all?
