Remove taxa from a list of taxlifestages

Description

Given 2 lists of character vectors and an ID corresponding to the name of an element in each list, this function will, for the named element, remove values in one character vector that correspond to values in the other and output a concatenated string of all remaining values.

Usage

Taxaremover(ID, Taxlifestage_list, Remove_taxa)

Arguments

ID	The quoted name of an element in both Taxlifestage_list and Remove_taxa
Taxlifestage_list	The list of character vectors of Taxlifestages from which elements will be removed.
Remove_taxa	The list of character vectors of Taxa names containing values to be removed from Taxlifestage_list.

Details

This function is designed to work on one ID at a time. To apply across multiple IDs, use the map or apply functions.

Value

A comma-separated string of remaining Taxlifestages from Taxlifestage_list[[ID]]
