Apply the search-name aliases to a processed species list
apply_taxa_aliases.RdReplaces the ASFIS name and rank for any code in taxa_search_aliases(),
leaving every other row untouched. A code with several aliases expands to
one row per alias, so all of them are searched and their coefficients
pooled.
rank is taken from the table rather than re-derived from the name: the
suffix rules in process_species_list() cannot recognise a bare genus like
Osteomugil, which has no space and no -idae or -formes ending.
Usage
apply_taxa_aliases(species_list, aliases = taxa_search_aliases())Arguments
- species_list
