This function updates Dyntaxa taxonomy records based on a list of Dyntaxa taxon IDs. It collects parent IDs from SLU Artdatabanken API (Dyntaxa), retrieves full taxonomy records, and organizes the data into a full taxonomic table that can be joined with data downloaded from SHARK

Usage

update_dyntaxa_taxonomy(
  dyntaxa_ids,
  subscription_key,
  add_missing_taxa = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

dyntaxa_ids

A vector of Dyntaxa taxon IDs to update.

subscription_key

A character string containing the subscription key for accessing the SLU Artdatabanken API for Dyntaxa. A key is provided for registered users at SLU Artdatabanken.

add_missing_taxa

Logical. If TRUE, the function will attempt to fetch missing taxa (i.e., taxon_ids not found in the initial Dyntaxa DwC-A query). Default is FALSE.

verbose

Logical. Print progress messages. Default is TRUE.

Value

A data frame representing the updated Dyntaxa taxonomy table.
