Add octocoral traits (Octocoral Trait Database)

Source: R/add-octocoral.R
add_octocoral.Rd

Joins soft-coral (octocoral) colony, polyp, skeleton, symbiosis and feeding traits to a taxify() result by accepted_name. Built from long-format records reduced to one value per species.

Usage

add_octocoral(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 octocoral_ columns: numeric colony_height, colony_width, tentacles_per_polyp; categorical growth_form, type_of_growth, type_of_skeleton, polyp_retractability, polyp_dimorphism, zooxanthellate, axis_presence, feeding_mechanism, coloniality, skeletal_rigidity, calcareous_sclerites_presence.
