Search taxonomic reference lists including concept synonomy and taxonomic hierarchy.
Description
Search all (accepted) children of a taxon down to gen generations
Usage
child(x, refl, gen = 3, syn = FALSE, include.parent = FALSE, quiet = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
x
Species number, lettercode or species name(s)
refl
Taxonomic reference list
gen
Number of child generations to return
syn
Should synonyms be included in results
include.parent
Should the parent taxon be included in results
quiet
Hide screen messages
...
additional paarmeters for function tax
Details
concept: GermanSL is a list with a single taxon view according to the standard lists of the different taxon groups (e.g Wisskirchen and Haeupler for higher plants, see).
Nevertheless a huge number of synonyms is included which allows in many cases the transformation into different concepts.
For illustration the concept of Armeria maritima from Korneck 1996 is included, which accepts e.g. Armeria maritima ssp. bottendorfensis.
parse.taxa: parse genus and epitheta from name strings.
taxname.removeAuthors Remove name authors from full scientific name strings.
