| Title: | IUCN Red List Data |
|---|---|
| Description: | Facilitates access to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, a comprehensive global inventory of species at risk of extinction. This package streamlines the process of determining conservation status by matching species names with Red List data, providing tools to easily query and retrieve conservation statuses. Designed to support biodiversity research and conservation planning, this package relies on data from the 'iucnrdata' package, available on GitHub <https://github.com/PaulESantos/iucnrdata>. To install the data package, use pak::pak('PaulESantos/iucnrdata'). |

This function retrieves vernacular (common) names for a given species using IUCN data.
It filters vernacular names based on matching internal_taxon_id and merges
them with species metadata.
get_common_name(splist)get_common_name(splist)
splist |
A character vector containing the scientific names of species for which vernacular names are to be retrieved. |
The function retrieves IUCN data for the input species, extracts the corresponding core_id, filters the vernacular name dataset using the core_id, and concatenates all unique vernacular names for each species.
A data.table or data.frame with columns:
The scientific name of the species as submitted.
A character string that contains the concatenated vernacular names for each species, separated by " - ".
species <- c("Panthera uncia", "Cedrela odorata") result <- get_common_name(splist = species) print(result)species <- c("Panthera uncia", "Cedrela odorata") result <- get_common_name(splist = species) print(result)
This function retrieves the conservation status of species from the iucn_data dataset. It is vectorized to handle multiple species names and optimized using data.table for performance.

splist |
A character vector of species names to search for in the iucn_data dataset. |
A data.table with species names and their corresponding conservation status or "no match found".
