Suffix Match Species within Genus

Tries to match the specific epithet by exchanging common suffixes within an already matched genus in 'WCVP'. The following suffixes are captured: c("a", "i", "is", "um", "us", "ae").

Usage

wcvp_suffix_match_species_within_genus(df, target_df = NULL)

Arguments

df

tibble containing the species binomial split into the columns Orig.Genus and Orig.Species.

target_df

Optional custom target table. If NULL, the optional wcvpdata checklist is used when available; otherwise pass a backbone explicitly.

Value

Returns a tibble with the additional logical column suffix_match_species_within_genus, indicating whether the specific epithet was successfully matched within the matched genus (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

Examples

# \donttest{
library(wcvpmatch)
df <- data.frame(Orig.Genus = "Opuntia", Orig.Species = "yanganucensa", Matched.Genus = "Opuntia")
wcvp_suffix_match_species_within_genus(df)
