Add thermal tolerance limits (GlobTherm) — add

Joins GlobTherm upper and lower thermal tolerance limits to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name.

Usage

add_globtherm(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:

globtherm_thermal_max_c: Upper thermal limit (degrees Celsius).
globtherm_thermal_max_metric: Definition of the upper limit (e.g. ctmax, LT50, UTNZ); the value is ambiguous without it.
globtherm_thermal_min_c: Lower thermal limit (degrees Celsius).
globtherm_thermal_min_metric: Definition of the lower limit (e.g. ctmin, LT50, LTNZ).
globtherm_thermal_max_error: Reported error on the upper limit.
globtherm_thermal_min_error: Reported error on the lower limit.
