In algaeClassify: Determine Phytoplankton Functional Groups Based on Functional Traits

Assign MFG based on binary functional traits and taxonomy (Class and Order)

Description

Assign MFG based on binary functional traits and taxonomy (Class and Order)

Usage

traits_to_mfg(
  flagella = NA,
  size = NA,
  colonial = NA,
  filament = NA,
  centric = NA,
  gelatinous = NA,
  aerotopes = NA,
  class = NA,
  order = NA
)

Arguments

flagella	1 if flagella are present, 0 if they are absent.
size	Character string: 'large' or 'small'. Classification criteria is left to the user.
colonial	1 if typically colonial growth form, 0 if typically unicellular.
filament	1 if dominant growth form is filamentous, 0 if not.
centric	1 if diatom with centric growth form, 0 if not. NA for non-diatoms.
gelatinous	1 mucilagenous sheath is typically present, 0 if not.
aerotopes	1 if aerotopes allowing buoyancy regulation are typically present, 0 if not.
class	Character string: The taxonomic class of the species
order	Character string: The taxonomic order of the species

Value

A character string of the species' morphofunctional group

Examples

traits_to_mfg(flagella = 1,size = "large",colonial = 1,filament = 0,centric = NA,gelatinous = 0,
               aerotopes = 0,class = "Euglenophyceae",order = "Euglenales")
