Arguments

ott_ids

a vector of ott ids for the taxa whose MRCA is to be found (numeric).

...

additional arguments to customize the API request (see rotl package documentation).

tax

Value

  • taxonomy_mrca returns a list about the taxonomic information relating to the MRCA for the ott_ids provided.

  • tax_rank returns a character vector of the taxonomic rank for the MRCA.

  • tax_name returns a character vector the Open Tree Taxonomy name for the MRCA.

  • ott_id returns a numeric vector of the ott id for the MRCA.

Details

Given a set of OTT ids, get the taxon that is the most recent common ancestor (the MRCA) of all the identified taxa.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
req <- taxonomy_mrca(ott_ids=c(515698,590452,643717))
tax_rank(req)
tax_name(req)
ott_id(req)
