A species type called Null would be useful as a place holder. This species should throw an error if used in any function like for the mass, etc. (or should NaN be returned?)

There's currently a species with 'variety' field Null, with a special constructor null_species = Species().
I'm not sure if it behaves entirely the way you'd like it to, let me know

Besides Species() being a constructor for the null species, it would be convenient if Species("Null") also was accepted.

It would be convenient if full_name(Species()) returned "Null" as the name.
