## Lookup-table for IDs of taxonomic ranks

### Description

data.frame of 36 rows, with 2 columns:

- rankid - a numeric rank id, consecutive

- ranks - a comma separated vector of names that are considered equal to one another within the row

### Details

We use this data.frame to do data sorting/filtering based on the ordering of ranks.

Please let us know if there is a rank that occurs from one of the data sources taxize that we don't have in `rank_ref` dataset.

Also let us know if you disagree with the ordering of ranks.
