Fuzzy Match Genus Name

Description

This function performs a fuzzy match of genus names against the threatened species database using fuzzyjoin::stringdist() to account for slight variations in spelling.

Usage

fuzzy_match_genus(df, target_df = NULL)

Arguments

df	A tibble containing the genus names to be matched.
target_df	A tibble representing the threatened species database containing the reference list of threatened species.

Details

If multiple genera match with the same string distance (ambiguous matches), a warning is issued and the first match is automatically selected. To examine ambiguous matches in detail, use get_ambiguous_matches on the result object.

**IMPROVED**: Ambiguous match attributes now include database information such as family and representative species for better manual curation.

Value

A tibble with two additional columns: - fuzzy_match_genus: A logical column indicating whether the genus was successfully matched ('TRUE') or not ('FALSE'). - fuzzy_genus_dist: A numeric column representing the distance for each match.
