Internal helper function for getPhyloNames; looks for either a scientific or common name matching whichever you supply, based on nameType. Does the work of interfacing with the sci2comm and comm2sci functions
getPhyloNames_noCache(speciesNames, nameType, quiet = T)
| speciesNames | a name or vector of common or scientific names of organisms of interest (in quotes) |
|---|---|
| nameType | what type of name are you supplying? Either "sci" or "common" |
| quiet | suppress verbose feedback from the taxize package? Default=T |
You generally won't want or need to use this function, since getPhyloNames invokes it and will cache the results to run more efficiently. But this is basically a convenience wrapper that can suppress some of the messaging from taxize and also search both NCBI and EOL databases for taxonomic matches.
