-#' Get Species Information
-#'
-#' @details
-#' Get the scientific name, common name, and strata group for
-#' a vector of species.
-#'
-#' @param species A vector of species names. The words can be separated
-#' using spaces or underscores. Full names are not required but they will
-#' increase the consistency of the results should partial matches return
-#' multiple matches.
-#' @param unident A logical entry with the default value of \code{FALSE},
-#' to match historical output that did not include unidentified groups.
-#'
-#' @export
-#' @return A data frame with the
-#' scientific name in the latin column and in the scientific_name column
-#' that has spaces replaced with underscores;
-#' common name in the common column and in the common_name column
-#' that has spaces replaced with underscores;
-#' species values used as input in the input column; and
-#' strata used to assess its status in the strata column.
-#' @seealso See
-#' \code{\link{PullSpp.fn}} for information on common and scientific names;
-#' and \code{\link{GetStrata.fn}} for the different stratifications.
-#' @author Kelli Faye Johnson
