Selecting 2 authorities for taxcov make all fields NA

[yvanlebras]

At least combining ITIS and GBIF, give a tabular metadata template with NA for "name_resolved", "authority_system" and "authority_ID" but making the same only selecting GBIF give non NA information for the same species name.

Maybe "just" a pb with ITIS ?

I get the following when trying by hand on a single species:

> taxonomyCleanr::make_taxonomicCoverage("Salmo trutta fario", c("GBIF","ITIS"), write.file = FALSE)
Creating <taxonomicCoverage>
Retrieving classifications
Error in UseMethod("as.gbifid") : 
  no applicable method for 'as.gbifid' applied to an object of class "logical"

Also, this occurs with one or the other authority.

@clnsmth , any idea?

Hi @yvanlebras @earnaud

You'll need to call resolve_sci_taxa() first, then send the results to make_taxonomicCoverage().

Try ...

taxonomyCleanr::view_taxa_authorities()
r <- taxonomyCleanr::resolve_sci_taxa("Salmo trutta fario", data.sources = c(11, 3))
tc <- taxonomyCleanr::make_taxonomicCoverage(
  taxa.clean = r$taxa_clean,
  authority = r$authority, 
  authority.id = r$authority_id, 
  write.file = FALSE)
