In ropensci/taxizesoap: Taxonomic Information from Around the Soap Web

Retrieve taxonomic identifiers for a given taxon name.

Description

This is a convenience function to get identifiers across all data sources. You can use other get_* functions to get identifiers from specific sources if you like.

Usage

get_ids_s(names, db = c("worms", "pesi"), ...)

Arguments

names	character; Taxonomic name to query.
db	character; database to query. One or more of worms or pesi. By default db is set to search all data sources.
...	Other arguments passed to get_wormsid, get_pesiid.

Value
