Explore taxon lumping

[sokole]

• Get ideas for alternative taxon lumping approaches from folks, categorize as "correct" or "incorrect" -- lump by synonym, by genus, no lumping (incorrect, because it would treat sp and spp as separate taxa, but sp should be considered part of the spp. group)
• Eric make script to lump data in ways that are correct and "incorrect"
• Sydne create script to use iNEXT to make accumulation curves by lumping method

doing this for just beetles? or maybe a few groups?

I am fine with either way. If we go with multiple groups, they can be as separate panels in the same figure.

Just beetles is probably fine -we just want an illustration here for discussion.

[sydnerecord]

@sokole Checking on status of beetle data subsets. Once those are ready, I can make the figure.

[daijiang]

We probably will be fine with the current data_beetle in the package for the purpose of drafting the figure.
