Response

Name usage recombinations found

keyinteger required

The name usage key that uniquely identifies this name usage.

nubKeyinteger

The taxon key of the matching backbone name usage.

If this is equal to key, this name usage is a backbone name usage.

nameKeyinteger

The key for retrieving a parsed name object.

You are more likely to need the key or nubKey properties

taxonIDstring

The original taxonID of the name usage as found in the source.

For backbone taxa and name usages with an origin different to SOURCE this is null.

sourceTaxonKeyinteger

The key of the name usage from which this backbone taxon derives.

For backbone taxa the source taxon key refers to the original name usage that was used during backbone building and is the primary reason that this taxon exists in the backbone.

All backbone name usages are built from several underlying checklist usages, but these are sorted by priority and the usage key for the highest priority one becomes the sourceTaxonKey for a backbone usage.

Some backbone usages do not have any source record at all; for example if there is a subspecies found, but no matching parent species, the missing species will be created nevertheless and has no primary source.

kingdomstring

Kingdom.

phylumstring

Phylum.

orderstring

Order.

familystring

Family.

Genus.

subgenusstring

Subgenus.

genusKeyinteger

Name usage key of the genus.

subgenusKeyinteger

Name usage key of the subgenus.

speciesKeyinteger

Name usage key of the species.

datasetKeystring uuid required

The checklist that “hosts” this name usage.

For a backbone name usage, this will be d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c.

constituentKeystring uuid

The optional sub-dataset key for this usage.

parentKeyinteger

The name usage key of the immediate parent. Null for the highest taxonomic level.

parentstring

The scientific name of the parent.

proParteKeyinteger

The primary name usage key for a pro parte synonym.

Synonyms with multiple accepted names are grouped by a single, primary name usage key.

acceptedKeyinteger

The name usage key of the accepted name.

acceptedstring

The scientific name of the accepted name.

basionymKeyinteger

The name usage key of the basionym.

basionymstring

The scientific name of the basionym.

scientificNamestring required

The scientific name, with date and authorship information if available.

Examples: Coleoptera (order), Vespertilionidae (family), Manis (genus), Ctenomys sociabilis (genus + specificEpithet), Ambystoma tigrinum diaboli (zoology, genus + specific name + infraspecific name) Quercus agrifolia var. oxyadenia (Torr.) (botany, genus + specific epithet + infraspecific epithet + authorship)

canonicalNamestring

The canonical name; the name without authorship or references.

vernacularNamestring

The name usage origin.

The origin of this name usage record, the reason it exists.

In most cases this is because the record existed explicitly in the checklist sources, but some usages are created de novo because the exist implicitly in the data.

taxonomicStatus'ACCEPTED' | 'DOUBTFUL' | 'SYNONYM' | 'HETEROTYPIC_SYNONYM' | 'HOMOTYPIC_SYNONYM' | 'PROPARTE_SYNONYM' | 'MISAPPLIED'
