load.revised.species {bio.infer}

Loads a user-revised list of species names

Description

If manual correction of the species names assigned by get.taxonomic is desired, these corrections should be made on the sum.tax.table.txt file. The corrections should be saved as tab-delimited text, and then load.revised.species run.

Usage

load.revised.species(bcnt.tax, fname)

Arguments

bcnt.tax

benthic count data frame that includes the full taxonomic hierarchy for each taxon.

fname

Character string containing file name for the revised, tab-delimited, file in the format of sum.tax.table.txt. See get.taxonomic.

Details

The script prompts the user to enter the name of the text file containing the revised species names. The original "SPECIES" column in bcnt.tax is deleted and the new, revised version is merged into bcnt.tax.

Value

The script returns a new benthic count file that incorporates the corrections to the species names
