Compile amphibian taxonomy following the Amphibian Species of the World

Description

This function takes no arguments. It cycles through the ASW website (https://amphibiansoftheworld.amnh.org/) to scrap all taxonomic information from Order to Species. As there are 5 taxonomic levels within each Order (Superfamily/Family/Subfamily/Genus/Species), one can expect the function to require 1 initial loop followed by 4 more, but it is designed to keep going until all lineages have reached the species level.

Usage

get_taxonomy()

Value

returns a dataframe listing all species and their taxonomic backbone as well as all URLs per species.

Examples

## Not run: asw_taxonomy_table<-get_taxonomy()
