Get Species Information

Usage

get_species_info(species, unident = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

species: A vector of species names. The words can be separated using spaces or underscores. Full names are not required but they will increase the consistency of the results should partial matches return multiple matches.
unident: A logical entry with the default value of FALSE, to match historical output that did not include unidentified groups.
verbose: A logical that specifies if you want to print messages and warnings to the console. The default is TRUE.

Value

A data frame with the scientific name in the latin column and in the scientific_name column that has spaces replaced with underscores; common name in the common column and in the common_name column that has spaces replaced with underscores; species values used as input in the input column; and strata used to assess its status in the strata column.

Details

Get the scientific name, common name, and strata group for a vector of species.
