Classify mammal scientific names into taxonomic components

This function is experimental and may change in future releases.

Parse mammal scientific names into genus, optional subgenus, species, optional subspecies, and trailing author text. The parser is intentionally conservative and targets species-level MDD reconciliation workflows.

Usage

classify_mammal_names(splist)

Arguments

splist

Character vector of scientific names.

Value

A tibble with one row per input name and standardized columns for species-level reconciliation.

Examples

classify_mammal_names(c(
  "Puma concolor",
  "Capromys (Pygmaeocapromys) angelcabrerai"
))
