is_present() only genus

[juliagdealedo]

Hi Paco, thanks for this amazing tool. I have just realized the function is_present() search by genus and no by species present in the afliber database, even if you specify by species. Perhaps it would be useful to be able to search if present by both? regards!
`

is_present(genus = "Vicia", species = "villosa")
Vicia villosa
TRUE
map_distribution(genus = "Vicia", species = "villosa", size = 0.9)
Error in [[<-.data.frame(*tmp*, i, value = NA) :
replacement has 1 row, data has 0
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In get_distribution(genus = genus, species = species, subspecies = subspecies, :

2: In min(cc[[1]], na.rm = TRUE) :

3: In min(cc[[2]], na.rm = TRUE) :

Hi Julia! Thanks for reporting. That was a bug... Fixed now

library(FloraIberica)

is_present(genus = "Vicia", species = "villosa")
#> Vicia villosa 
#>         FALSE

get_distribution(genus = "Vicia", species = "villosa")
#> Error in get_distribution(genus = "Vicia", species = "villosa"): One or more taxa not present in the database. Please check with is_present

Still have to decide what to do in cases when species or subspecies are NA or "", e.g.

is_present("Vicia", NA)

or

is_present("Vicia", "")

I guess checking just the genus in those cases, don't you think?

We may find this situation if passing a dataframe where some taxa have genus and species, while others have only genus (ie species is NA)

@iramosgutierrez may have opinions here 😉

[juliagdealedo]

Thanks! Yes, in those cases I would just look for the genus. It can happen that the df has both IDs at the species and genus level.
