Usage

get_apc_genus_family_lookup(genus, resources = load_taxonomic_resources())

Arguments

genus

A character vector of genus names for which to retrieve the corresponding family names.

resources

The taxonomic resources required to make the lookup. Loading this can be slow, so call load_taxonomic_resources separately to speed up this function and pass the resources in.

Value

A data frame with two columns: "genus", indicating the genus name, and "family", indicating the corresponding family name from the APC.
