is_datelife_result_empty

Check if we obtained an empty search with the given taxon name(s).

Methods and workflows to get chronograms (i.e., phylogenetic trees with branch lengths
proportional to time), using open, peer-reviewed, state-of-the-art scientific data on time of lineage divergence.
This package constitutes the main underlying code of the DateLife web service
at <https://www.datelife.org>. To obtain a single summary chronogram from a group of
relevant chronograms, we implement the Super Distance Matrix (SDM) method
described in Criscuolo et al. (2006) <doi:10.1080/10635150600969872>.
To find the grove of chronograms with a sufficiently overlapping set of taxa
for summarizing, we implement theorem 1.1. from Ané et al. (2009)
<doi:10.1007/s00026-009-0017-x>.
A given phylogenetic tree can be dated using time of lineage divergence data
as secondary calibrations (with caution, see Schenk (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0148228>).
To obtain and apply secondary calibrations, the package implements the congruification method described
in Eastman et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12051>. Tree dating can be performed with different methods
including BLADJ (Webb et al. (2008) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btn358>), PATHd8
(Britton et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/10635150701613783>), mrBayes (Huelsenbeck
and Ronquist (2001) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/17.8.754>), and treePL (Smith
and O'Meara (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts492>).

is_datelife_result_empty function

<dl><dt>datelife_result</dt>
<dd>A <code>datelifeResult</code> object, usually an output of <code>get_datelife_result()</code>.</dd>
<dt>use_tnrs</dt>
<dd>Whether to use Open Tree of Life's Taxonomic Name Resolution Service (TNRS)
to process input taxon names. Default to <code>TRUE</code>, it corrects misspellings and
taxonomic name variations with <code>tnrs_match()</code>, a wrapper of <code>rotl::tnrs_match_names()</code>.</dd></dl>
