Migration to Phasmida SpeciesFile taxonomy

In a third major milestone in 24 hours the site has moved from using a partial phasmid taxonomy (used for development) to a complete phasmid taxonomy imported from Phasmida SpeciesFile. This means that taxon pages are now available for all phasmid taxa. The migration was done with the assistance of Simon Rycroft who works for the Scratchpad project.

This is the first stage in a more comprehensive cooperation with the Phasmida SpeciesFile, the next stage will see a SpeciesFile panel being added to taxon pages, allowing users to see what information Phasmida SpeciesFile has about that taxon complete with links to that information.

These milestones show that this website is rapidly becoming the most comprehensive online resource available to phasmid enthusiasts - not a bad achievement for two years work.

Scratchpads developed and conceived by: Vince Smith, Simon Rycroft, Dave Roberts, Ben Scott...
