thermal_ranges: Collates minimum, maximum, and preferable temperatures from FishBase.

Description

Collates minimum, maximum, and preferable temperatures from FishBase.

Usage

thermal_ranges(
  x,
  colsp = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  pct = 90,
  sn = FALSE,
  synonym = fishbase(tables = "synonym"),
  ranges = fishbase(tables = "ranges")
)

Value

Data table for minimum, maximum and preferable species temperatures from FishBase.

Arguments

x

dataframe or string. species names or a dataframe of species to aid in retrieving temperature ranges from FishBase.

colsp

string. if x is a data frame, then the column species is required. Otherwise for list of species or vector, the colsp is NULL.

verbose

logical To return implementation messages. Default FALSE.

pct

numeric. Provide the perecentage similarity of the species name provided and the one in FishBase. The lower the pct value, the higher the chances of getting a wrong species in the standard databases (FishBase). The plausible pct value should be greater than 0.9.

sn

logical. Either to output synonym or only accepted names. This parameter reduces duplication of species synonyms and old name etc. For more information see FishBase.

synonym

fishbasedataframe. A standard database for species synonym names from FishBase. See FishBase for more information.

ranges

fishbasedataframe. A standard database for ecological ranges from FishBase. See FishBase for more information.

Examples

if (FALSE) {

x <- thermal_ranges(x = "Salmo trutta")
}
