Perform direct species matching against IUCN data

Source: R/species_match.R
species_direct_match.Rd

This function matches species names (submitted_name) from the input dataframe directly to the IUCN species list. It identifies matches and non-matches based on exact string comparison, and returns a dataframe with match status and relevant columns.

Usage

species_direct_match(df)

Arguments

df

A dataframe containing species names in the column submitted_name and their matched genera in matched_genus.

Value

A dataframe that includes:

  • submitted_name: Original species names from the input.

  • matched_genus: The genus matched from the input.

  • matched_species: The species name matched directly in the IUCN dataset.

  • direct_match_species: Boolean indicating whether the species was directly matched (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

Examples

df <- filter_iucn_genus("Panthera uncia")
#> 
#> ── Matching names to IUCN genus list ───────────────────────────────────────────
#> ✔ All input genera were matched successfully (1 exact, 0 fuzzy).
