Help needed in Arctos: Tracking the taxonomic growth of our collection

[falco-rk]

We often use the growth in the number of species in our collection as a metric to track our growth over time. In our old database, this was "easy" to do because we added taxa individually so we could just look at how many new taxa records were generated in a year. Since that is not how Arctos works, is there a way to compare our taxonomic breakdown by date?

I would like to make this plot:

Where gray bars represent taxa new to the collection and teal bars indicate new representatives of taxa already in the collection. The blue lines track the cumulative growth of taxa in the OGL Collection (right axes).

This is gonna be a thing we will need to do on at least an annual basis, but possibly more frequently.
