[Taxacom] Biodiversity Heritage Library timeline

[Peter DeVries]

Cool!
Here is something to think about.

Let's say I am interested in the species currently known as *Ochlerotatus
triseriatus* / *Aedes triseriatus*.

It was originally known under the name *Culex triseriatus*.

What about something like

http://bioguid.info/bhl/se/*uniqueid*
*
*
That resolves to a timeline that contains all the publications for that
species?

The publications under different names would be displayed as different
colors.
