An function that takes an input taxonomic name, checks against taxonomic database, returns vector for use in database queries, as well as warnings if the name is invalid.
taxonRectification(taxName = NULL, datasources = NULL, skipTaxize = FALSE)A string that, ideally, is a taxonomic name
A vector of taxonomic data sources implemented in
gnr_resolve. See the
Global Names List for more information.
If skipTaxize = TRUE, occCite will skip taxonomic
rectification using taxize, which has been orphaned on CRAN. Setting this
option to `TRUE` will result in a check for the taxize package before taxonomic
rectification is attempted.
A string with the closest match according to
gnr_resolve, and a list of taxonomic data sources that
contain the matching name.
