Hi Ken-ichi, the taxon page /species/{ID} is the one you should link to. We keep those identifiers stable and the (canonical) name alone is often a homonym and not guaranteed to be unique or even stable (we might correct typos for example).
best, Markus

Is there a way to link to a scientific name on the new GBIF? The old one would (and still does) let you link to taxon pages like this
http://data.gbif.org/species/Rhus_typhina
but the new GBIF seems to require an identifier in the URL. I could just link to http://www.gbif.org/species/search?q=Rhus%20typhina, but I'd rather link directly to the taxon page. Possible? _______________________________________________ API-users mailing list API-users@lists.gbif.org http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/api-users
