Update the modelling species list

This list should be reviewed based on the last advances in selecting the species for risk assessment or any other usage of the european cube:
https://github.com/trias-project/occ-cube-alien/blob/master/references/modelling_species.tsv

Oct 19, TrIAS core team will discuss this list and it can be a good moment to review it on GitHub as well.

@amyjsdavis, @qgroom, @timadriaens: can you check that the list (link above) is updated? Many thanks.

@damianooldoni I checked. All the species we considered for PRA and for which we needed maps are there. I additionally added the last species under discussion (the snake, two plants and some birds mostly) to make sure we have all the cube we need for now. A few remarks:

  • For Elaphe taeniura, we need to pool with the accepted name Orthriophis taeniurus (2455523) but I guess that is done automatically since it is a synonym?
  • Hedera hibernica is also under different names on gbif, the problem is discussed here. So we need to pool data from 3 keys: c(6307044, 8168344, 8410115)

@damianooldoni should we also profit from this 'cube update' to include the alert list species of RIPARIAS (crayfish & aquatic plants) for the sake of efficiency?

@timadriaens: yes, good idea. I will.

Notice also the following updates I would like to perform in the modelling species list based on the latest version of the GBIF Backbone:

NEW name (GBIF taxonKey) OLD name (GBIF taxonKey)
Megabalanus tintinnabulum 5166487 Balanus tintinnabulum 2115692
Crassula helmsii 5362054 Crassula helmsii 8035075
Eobania vermiculata 2294275 Massylaea vermiculata 9291405
Mustela vison 5218823 Neovison vison 2433652
Elaphe taeniura 8889878 Orthriophis taeniurus 245523
