Linking to IRMNG
If you simply want to link to IRMNG, just use this URL: http://irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxlist&tName=Your Species
i.e. http://irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxlist&tName=Solea solea
(This assumes that you have no idea if the taxon exists, or you do not want to look up the IRMNG_ID)
If you know the taxon exists, lookup the IRMNG_ID, via the search interface, and link to this URL: http://irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=IRMNG_ID
i.e. the IRMNG_ID for Solea solea is 10150800: http://irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=10150800
