Retrieve accepted TSN and name

Usage

itis_acceptname(searchtsn, ...)

Arguments

searchtsn

One or more TSN for a taxon (numeric/integer)

...

Curl options passed on tocrul::verb-GET

Value

data.frame with with row number equal to input vector length, and with three columns:

  • submittedtsn (numeric) - The submitted TSN

  • acceptedname (character) - The accepted name - if the submitted TSN is the accepted TSN, then this is NA_character_ because ITIS does not return a name along with the TSN if it's an accepted name. We could make an extra HTTP request to ITIS, but that means additional time.

  • acceptedtsn (numeric) - The accepted TSN

  • author (character) - taxonomic authority

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# TSN accepted - good name
itis_acceptname(searchtsn = 208527)

# TSN not accepted - input TSN is old
itis_acceptname(searchtsn = 504239)

# many accepted names
ids <- c(18161, 18162, 18163, 18164, 18165, 18166, 46173, 46174,

46207, 46867, 46868)
