Plots records are rather linked to plant names than plant taxon concepts and
used_synonyms() lists all synonyms linked to records in a vegtable
object, including their respective accepted names.
On the other side, the function used_concepts() produces a subset of the
taxonomic list embeded in the slot species including only taxonomic
concepts linked to records in the slot samples.
Usage
used_synonyms(x, ...)
# S3 method for class 'vegtable'
used_synonyms(x, ...)
used_concepts(x, ...)
# S3 method for class 'vegtable'
used_concepts(
x,
keep_children = FALSE,
keep_parents = FALSE,
keep_synonyms = TRUE,
...
)Arguments
- x
A vegtable object.
- ...
Further arguments to be passed from or to another methods.
- keep_children
A logical argument indicating whether children of selected taxa should be included in the output or not. This argument passed to
get_children().- keep_parents
A logical value indicating whether parents of selected taxa should be included in the output or not. This argument passed to
get_parents().- keep_synonyms
A logical value indicating whether synonyms should be included or not.
Value
The function used_synonyms() returns a data frame including following
variables:
- SynonymID
ID of the taxon usage name applied as synonym.
- Synonym
The synonym itself.
- SynonymAuthor
Author of synonym.
- TaxonConceptID
ID of the respective taxon concept.
- AcceptedNameID
ID of the taxon usage name set as accepted name of the taxon concept.
- AcceptedName
The respective accepted name.
- AcceptedNameAuthor
The author of the accepted name.
The function used_concepts() returns a taxlist object including
only taxa occurring in the plot observations of the input vegtable
object.
