Add freshwater thermal-tolerance traits (ThermoFresh)

Source: R/add-thermofresh.R
add_thermofresh.Rd

Joins species-level critical thermal limits for freshwater fish, invertebrates and amphibians to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name. All values are in degrees Celsius.

Usage

add_thermofresh(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:

thermofresh_ctmax

Critical thermal maximum (degrees C).

thermofresh_ctmin

Critical thermal minimum (degrees C).

thermofresh_lt50

Median lethal temperature (degrees C).

thermofresh_ltmax

Lethal thermal maximum (degrees C).

thermofresh_ltmin

Lethal thermal minimum (degrees C).
