expand_name {taxotools} | R Documentation |
Expands Scientific name
Description
At times the genus is specified with first character and '.' rather then repeating genus names every time. These are either synonyms or species of the same genus listed one bellow another. To convert these names to canonical names, we need to expand the genus name (typically) using previous entry in the list.
Usage
expand_name(fullname, shortname)
Arguments
fullname |
full scientific name |
shortname |
scientific name with short form genus name to expand the Genus |
Value
scientific name with Genus expanded using reference name provided as parameter
