getCmmn: Get Common

In rBatt/trawlData: Read and Clean Data from Bottom Trawl Surveys

Description

Get species' common names

Usage

getCmmn(u.sppCorr)

Arguments

u.sppCorr

character vector of Latin names to lookup

Details

Uses rfishbase (this is new from original implementation), and only uses taxize if rfishbase fails to find a match (but taxize is very slow sometimes). Furture versions should use the sealifebase implementation of rfishbase, which I haven't figured out or tested yet.

Value

a data.table with two columns: the species name searched, and the common name

Examples

getCmmn(c(
	"Paralichthys dentatus",
	"Chionoecetes tanneri"
 ))
