get_id
gets id's of all AmP-supported websites
Contents
Syntax
[id, id_txt, my_pet_acc] = get_id(my_pet, open, tab)
Description
Gets identifiers for all websites that AmP uses for this taxon. Some websites apply to all animals, others only for particular taxa. The lineage is taken from CoL till 2024/09, then after from Taxo. CoL no longer supports automatized searching; insert the species-name in the search-field of the CoL-site that is opened in your browser and copy the id in the address field (top-line of your browser) to Matlab. ITIS also changed, and no longer supports taxon id's as it seems. AmP will remove the links to ITIS soon.
Input:
- my_pet: character string with name of a taxon
- open: optional boolean for opening sites in browser (default: 0)
- tab: optional boolean for opening table in browser (default: 0)
Output:
- id: vector of cells with id's
- id_txt: vector of cells with labels for id's
- my_pet_acc: name of accepted species (_ separated)
Remarks
Outputs empty id strings if identification was not successful.
Example of use
get_id('Passer_domesticus', 1, 1)
