Get DS043-2006-AG: Aprueban Categorizacion de Especies Amenazadas de Flora Silvestre. 13-07-2006 data

Description

This function takes a species list and tries to match a name in the "DS043-2006-AG: Aprueban Categorizacion de Especies Amenazadas de Flora Silvestre", subseting information for each species. If the name_submitted is a valid name, it will be the duplicated in accepted_name column, else the accepted_name column will display the closest name given the maximum distance defined in max_distance

Usage

category_ds043_2006(splist, max_distance = 0.2)

Arguments

splist

A character vector specifying the input taxon, each element including genus and specific epithet and, potentially, infraspecific rank, infraspecific name and author name. Only valid characters are allowed (see base::validEnc).

max_distance

match when comparing the submitted name with the closest name matches in the species listed in the "DS043-2006-AG: Aprueban Categorizacion de Especies Amenazadas de Flora Silvestre". The distance used is a generalized Levenshtein distance that indicates the total number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions allowed to match the two names. It can be expressed as an integer or as the fraction of the binomial name. For example, a name with length 10, and a max_distance = 0.1, allow only one change (insertion, deletion, or substitution). A max_distance = 2, allows two changes.

Value

A table with the accepted name and catalog data of the species.

Examples

splist <- c("Cleistocactus clavispinus",
             "Welfia alfredi",
             "Matucana haynei")
category_ds043_2006(splist)
