Perhaps both is needed. My understanding was that if you have a
specimen record, entered e.g. by a collection (but not "taken" from a
publication), and the specimen is being referenced in a publication,
isReferencedBy is the right property to point to the publication.

For which there is a term dwc:associatedReferences.  Even if this term isn't exactly the same as dcterms:isReferencedBy, this is getting into a concept different from the one being requested. If dcterms:isReferencedBy actually needed for real-world uses by multiple independent parties, then the case for it's addition should be made in the normal fashion (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/namespace/index.htm#classesofchanges, section 3.4), with discussion in a different thread if the discussion has no bearing on the current topic.
