Taxon: Create a taxonomic hierarchy

In allometric: Structured Allometric Models for Trees

Create a taxonomic hierarchy

Description

Taxon represents a taxonomic hierarchy (from family through species). This class represents a number of validity checks to ensure the taxon is correctly structured. A taxon must have at least a family specified, and neither genus nor species can be specified without the "shallower" layers of the hierarchy specified first. Group Taxons together with Taxa().

Usage

Taxon(family = NA_character_, genus = NA_character_, species = NA_character_)

Arguments

family	The taxonomic family
genus	The taxonomic genus
species	The taxonomic species

Value

An instance of class Taxon

Examples

Taxon(
  family = "Pinaceae",
  genus = "Pinus",
  species = "ponderosa"
)

Taxon(
  family = "Betulaceae"
)
