Wrong assignment of family names

[pedrosenna]

Hello guys, just found this package and i'm really digging it, congratulations.

Just wanted to point out a minor error in the assignment of family level column. It seems to be a problem when the script splits author names containing a dot (.) When the dot is present, the characters after the dot goes into the family column.

For example:

Knodus cinarucoensis (Román-Valencia, Taphorn & Ruiz-C. 2008)
Hemibrycon guejarensis Román-Valencia, Ruiz-C. & Taphorn 2018

chara.db <- search_cas(query = "characidae", type = "species_family") %>%
  filter(status == "Validation") %>% distinct(family) %>% print(n=Inf)

# A tibble: 19 × 1
   family                             
   <chr>                              
 1 Characidae_Stethaprioninae         
 2 Characidae_Characinae              
 3 Characidae_Stevardiinae            
 4 Characidae_Aphyocharacinae         
 5 Characidae_Cheirodontinae          
 6 Characidae_Spintherobolinae        
 7 Characidae_Tetragonopterinae       
 8 2008)                              
 9 Characidae_Characids incertae sedis
10 1967                               
11 2009)                              
12 & Taphorn 2018                     
13 Characidae_Exodontinae             
14 & Taphorn 2010                     
15 & Taphorn 2012                     
16 2007                               
17 & Barriga Salazar 2006             
18 & Barriga Salazar 2005             
19 2008                       

Hope you guys can fix it in the next updates. Also, would be great to be able to pull out the type locality and occurrence records/drainages.

Cheers,

Hi Pedro!

We (@Otoliths and me) are trying to re-develop this package to fix all the error and get more variables (as you asked)!

I didn't have time this past months, but will try to work on it this month!

Here's the preview of the new function

chara.db <- search_cas(query = "characidae", type = "species_family") %>%
  filter(status_type == "Validation") %>% distinct(family) %>% print(n=Inf)

# A tibble: 1 x 1
  family    
  <chr>     
1 Characidae
