Perform fuzzy species matching against IUCN data

This function matches a dataframe of species names (submitted_name) to the IUCN database using fuzzy string matching. It returns a dataframe with matched and unmatched entries, including additional details on the matching process.

Usage

species_fuzzy_match(df)

Arguments

df

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

Value

A dataframe with the original input, matched species names, fuzzy string distances, and match status.

Examples

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