Yes. Which doesn't mean that some identifier schemes can't decide to  
be case-insensitive. But someone linking by identifier should never  
assume that the identifier is case-insensitive.

I'm wondering actually what the rule is for DOIs - Ryan, can you  
enlighten us on that?

You may wish to decide that independently of the issue at hand. No  
matter what the decision, I would first get in touch with Am Nat (or  
Chicago Press) whether they can fix that. I was going to pull out an  
article that links to a dataset in Dryad, but it occurs to me that  
Dryad DOIs are entirely lowercase, and so it wouldn't show anything.  
Though you could take that as a hint to make all TB identifiers  
lowercase as well, which would avoid this issue.
