TNRS GUI returns names while TNRS function does not

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Using
names.txt, the GUI on http://tnrs.iplantcollaborative.org/TNRSapp.html
returns the attached list of names tnrs_results.txt

under the 'Accepted_name' column, while the TNRS R function does not return most names in the 'Accepted_name' column. Maybe there's a difference in the default settings for the GUI and the R function?

Here's the exact function call:
names <- read.csv('names.txt')
names <- as.character(unlist(names))
resolved_names <- TNRS(names)

#resolved_names$Accepted_name returns very few names compared to the TNRS GUI

We seem to have resolved this issue, as this query now returns names for 98.7% of the species in the names.txt file (as opposed to the ~93% in the tnrs_results.txt).
