BIEN_trait_mean errors due to conflicting family/genus designations #3

Open bmaitner opened 7 years ago

bmaitner commented 7 years ago

The function BIEN_trait_mean will sometimes gives errors due to the same genus being assigned to different families (e.g. "Unknown" and somethingaceae"). Thankfully the errors don't stop the function, and the NA's that are returned are reasonable (and better than erroneous values).

Revising code to only use families ending in "aceae"

can you put this in the frequently asked questions website for R BIEN?

I'm working on fixing the underlying code so the issue doesn't occur. Shouldn't take too long.
