In datelife: Scientific Data on Time of Lineage Divergence for Your Taxa

Eliminates unmatched (NAs) and invalid taxa from a rotl::tnrs_match_names() or tnrs_match() output Useful to get ott ids to retrieve an induced synthetic Open Tree of Life. Needed because using include_suppressed = FALSE in rotl::tnrs_match_names() does not drop all invalid taxa.

Description

Eliminates unmatched (NAs) and invalid taxa from a rotl::tnrs_match_names() or tnrs_match() output Useful to get ott ids to retrieve an induced synthetic Open Tree of Life. Needed because using include_suppressed = FALSE in rotl::tnrs_match_names() does not drop all invalid taxa.

clean_tnrs(
  tnrs,
  invalid = c("barren", "extinct", "uncultured", "major_rank_conflict", "incertae",
    "unplaced", "conflict", "environmental", "not_otu"),
  remove_nonmatches = FALSE
)

Arguments

tnrs	A data frame, usually an output from datelife::tnrs_match or rotl::tnrs_match_names functions, but see details.
invalid	A character string with flags to be removed from final object.
remove_nonmatches	Boolean, whether to remove unsuccessfully matched names or not.
