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.
load.revised.species(bcnt.tax, fname)
benthic count data frame that includes the full taxonomic hierarchy for each taxon.
Character string containing file name for the revised,
tab-delimited, file in the format of sum.tax.table.txt
. See get.taxonomic
.
The script returns a new benthic count file that incorporates the corrections to the species names
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.
