Add ant genus defensive traits (Blanchard & Moreau)

Joins genus-level ant defensive and ecological traits to a taxify() result by genus.

Usage

add_blanchard(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 blanchard_ columns: categorical subfamily, spines, sting, diet, nesting, foraging; numeric colony_size_workers (joined on genus).

Details

Source: Blanchard & Moreau (2017) ant defensive traits (Dryad, CC0). Joins on genus because the database is genus-resolved.
