from convo in ropensci/taxize#344 from @davharris

Code in his branch at https://github.com/davharris/traits/commit/cfa8c8200b6397c0868b8f7c4b29dd9c5d362768

Two tables down, but there are a few more still worth grabbing.

Any idea what's going on in the first table on this page (red list criteria)? Is the species "Critically Endangered" AND "Endangered" AND "Vulnerable "? Any idea what the second column is talking about (e.g. "B2ab(i,ii,iii,v)")?

Thanks!

TBH I haven't looked at IUCN stuff much at all. And Ed is the one that wrote the iucn fxns in this pkg.

on this page http://www.iucnredlist.org/static/categories_criteria_3_1 go to the section Annex 2: Citation of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria

Seems that e.g., B2ab(i,ii,iii,v) is another way of saying EN as well as that i, ii, iii, v subsections apply within B2ab

Okay, thanks. I’ll follow up on the criteria when I have some more time. Appreciate the pointer!
