Add copepod traits (Brun et al. 2017) — add_copepod

Joins marine-copepod traits from the trait database of Brun et al. (2017) to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name. Records are reduced to per-species values (numeric by median, categorical by mode).

Usage

add_copepod_traits(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 additional columns. The default set:

cop_body_length_mm: Body length (mm).
cop_egg_diameter_um: Egg outer diameter (micrometres).
cop_clutch_size: Clutch size.
cop_feeding_mode: Feeding mode.
cop_spawning_strategy: Spawning strategy.

cols = "all" also attaches feeder type, myelination, resting-egg presence, and the per-species min/max/n spread of the numeric values.
