Details

This function converts a vector of names between the American Ornitholgoical Union Code (AOU Code), Latin name and scientific name. This is used by various other functions to provide the correct type of name in the output. The data to make these conversion is stored in the Species solot of a NCRNbirds object.

Currently the list method simply uses the data from the Species slot of the first object in the list.
