while the get_taxa function searches for sites that contain the requested
taxa. The function searches for each taxon by using a SQL query which
accepts any one of the following parameters:
taxonid The unique taxon ID (integer) in Neotoma. Can be passed as a
vector of taxa IDs.
taxonname Taxon name or partial name. You can pass wildcard characters
using %.
taxagroup The taxonomic grouping the taxon belongs to, from the Neotoma
taxagrouptypes table.
ecolgroup The ecological group of interest for the Neotoma taxon (from
the Neotoma ecolgrouptypes table)
status The taxonomic extinction status of the taxon, either extinct
(1, True) or extant (0, False).
