Description
Assign MFG based on binary functional traits and taxonomy (Class and Order)
Usage
traits_to_mfg(
flagella = NA,
size = NA,
colonial = NA,
filament = NA,
centric = NA,
gelatinous = NA,
aerotopes = NA,
class = NA,
order = NA
)
Arguments
flagella |
1 if flagella are present, 0 if they are absent. |
size |
Character string: 'large' or 'small'. Classification criteria is left to the user. |
colonial |
1 if typically colonial growth form, 0 if typically unicellular. |
filament |
1 if dominant growth form is filamentous, 0 if not. |
centric |
1 if diatom with centric growth form, 0 if not. NA for non-diatoms. |
gelatinous |
1 mucilagenous sheath is typically present, 0 if not. |
aerotopes |
1 if aerotopes allowing buoyancy regulation are typically present, 0 if not. |
class |
Character string: The taxonomic class of the species |
order |
Character string: The taxonomic order of the species |
Value
A character string of the species' morphofunctional group
