Add European bat traits (EuroBaTrait) — add

Joins species-level traits of European bats (morphology, life history, diet, foraging habitat, roost type) to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name.

Usage

add_eurobat(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 curated set:

eurobat_forearm_length_mm: Forearm length (mm).
eurobat_body_mass_g: Body mass (g).
eurobat_max_longevity_yr: Maximum recorded longevity (years).
eurobat_litter_size: Litter size.
eurobat_diet_type: Diet type (insectivorous, frugivorous, ...).
eurobat_first_main_prey: First main prey item.

With cols = "all" the full trait set (digit lengths, wing indices, habitat affinity scores, critical feeding areas, roost dependence, phenology, ...) is attached under their source names.
