Add bee morphometrics (Ostwald) — add_bee

Joins global bee morphological traits to a taxify() result by accepted_name. Long-format measurements are reduced to species medians.

Usage

add_bee_ostwald(x, cols = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x: A data.frame returned by taxify().
cols: Which columns to attach: NULL (default) the curated set, "all" every column the source carries, or a character vector of names. See enrichment_cols.
verbose: Logical. Default TRUE.

Value

The same data.frame with numeric columns bee_ostwald_itd_mm (intertegular distance), bee_ostwald_forewing_length_mm, bee_ostwald_tongue_length_mm, bee_ostwald_tongue_width_mm, bee_ostwald_body_length_mm, bee_ostwald_thorax_length_mm, bee_ostwald_hair_length_mm, bee_ostwald_hair_coverage_pct.
