Add marine zooplankton traits — add

Joins global marine-zooplankton traits to a taxify() result by accepted_name (species-level summaries).

Usage

add_zooplankton(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 zooplankton_ columns: numeric body_length_max_mm, carbon_weight_mg, nitrogen_pdw_pct; categorical vertical_distribution, reproduction_mode, trophic_group, feeding_mode, myelination, habitat_association, diel_vertical_migration, bioluminescence.
