Taxonomic data is central to ecocomDP and fast alignment of taxonomic entities with traversal of associated hierarchies are arguably essential.
Currently, there is no built-in support for operations like these in the ecocomDP R package.
taxadb offers a nice solution to all of this, by providing static snapshots of major taxonomic authorities through a consistent API. Note, we may want to implement this as a suggested package.
