Examples

primates.tab <- AWP.read.pkg.tab(tab.nm='dbo_tblGrovesMonkeys', id.clmn='MonkeyNumberGroves')
primates.tab <- add.gnsp.clmn(primates.tab,gn="Genus",sp="Species",rownames=FALSE,gnsp.col='gn_sp')
primates.tab <- add.gnsp.clmn(primates.tab,gn="Genus",sp="Species",rownames=FALSE,gnsp.col='gnspg')
pri.grpd <- regroup.gnsp(df=primates.tab,clmns=colnames(primates.tab), agg='max')
out <- regroup.equivalent(pri.grpd, gnsp.old=gn_sp, gnsp.new='gnspg', 
                                    clmns='MonkeyNumberGroves', agg='paste', direction='old2new')
