Collates minimum, maximum, and preferable temperatures from FishBase.

Usage

thermal_ranges(
  x,
  colsp = NULL,
  verbose = F,
  pct = 90,
  sn = FALSE,
  synonym = fishbase(tables = "synonym"),
  ranges = fishbase(tables = "ranges")
)

Arguments

x: dataframe or string. species names or a dataframe of species to aid in retrieving temperature ranges from FishBase.
colsp: string. if x is a data frame, then the column species is required. Otherwise for list of species or vector, the colsp is NULL.
verbose: logical To return implementation messages. Default FALSE.
pct: numeric. Provide the perecentage similarity of the species name provided and the one in FishBase. The lower the pct value, the higher the chances of getting a wrong species in the standard databases (FishBase). The plausible pct value should be greater than 0.9.
sn: logical. Either to output synonym or only accepted names. This parameter reduces duplication of species synonyms and old name etc. For more information see FishBase.
synonym: fishbasedataframe. A standard database for species synonym names from FishBase. See FishBase for more information.
ranges: fishbasedataframe. A standard database for ecological ranges from FishBase. See FishBase for more information.

Value

Data table for minimum, maximum and preferable species temperatures from FishBase.

Examples


if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{

x <- thermal_ranges(x = "Salmo trutta")
} # }
