checktrait

Checks the traits spelling compared to user input.

Support the extraction and seamless integration of species ecological traits or preferences from the www.freshwaterecology.info into several ecological model workflows. During data extraction, different taxonomic levels are acceptable, including species, genus, and family, based on the availability of data in the database. The data is cached after the first search and can be accessed during and after online interactions. Only scientific names are acceptable in the search; local or English names are not allowed. A user API key is required to start using the package.

checktrait function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd><code>string or vector</code>. The traits to be checked for spelling errors and matching database entries.</dd>
<dt>std</dt>
<dd><code>lits</code>. A list with standard traits names from the the database to compare with user entries.</dd>
<dt>mindist</dt>
<dd><code>numeric</code>. Set a threshold for trait similarity between the user provided and that found in the database.
The lower the percentage, the higher the similarity between the user provided
and standard trait names.</dd>
<dt>error</dt>
<dd><code>numeric</code>. Also percentage to improve the distance based checked implemented or set in
mindist parameter</dd>
<dt>grp</dt>
<dd><code>grp</code>. The taxa names checked for. see <code>fw_searchdata</code>.</dd>
<dt>warn</dt>
<dd><code>logical</code> To show species name warning checks and traits cleaning. Default <code>FALSE</code>.</dd></dl>
