fuzzy_match_genus: Fuzzy Match Genus Name

Description

This function performs a fuzzy match of genus names against the threatened species database using fuzzyjoin::stringdist() to account for slight variations in spelling.

Usage

fuzzy_match_genus(df, target_df = NULL)

Value

A tibble with two additional columns: - fuzzy_match_genus: A logical column indicating whether the genus was successfully matched (`TRUE`) or not (`FALSE`). - fuzzy_genus_dist: A numeric column representing the distance for each match.

Arguments

df

A tibble containing the genus names to be matched.

target_df

A tibble representing the threatened species database containing the reference list of threatened species.

Details

If multiple genera match with the same string distance (ambiguous matches), a warning is issued and the first match is automatically selected. To examine ambiguous matches in detail, use get_ambiguous_matches on the result object.

**IMPROVED**: Ambiguous match attributes now include database information such as family and representative species for better manual curation.
