Weird return species names

Opened this issue · 0 comments

When I try to pull down some vertebrate info from the db I, some of the species names returned are weird. Little example:

require(neotoma)
spatial_bounds <- get_dataset(loc = c(-103, 29, -96, 34), ageold = 1000, datasettype = "vertebrate fauna")
all_dls <- get_download(spatial_bounds)
table_format <- compile_downloads(all_dls)

In the return table, there are some weird species names:
names(table_format)

E.g.

> names(table_format)[119:130]
  [1] "Perognathus.sp..bone.tooth.present.absent"         "Peromyscus.sp..bone.tooth.MNI"                    
 [3] "Peromyscus.sp..bone.tooth.present.absent"          "Procyon.lotor.bone.tooth.MNI"                     
 [5] "Procyon.lotor.bone.tooth.present.absent"           "Sigmodon.hispidus.bone.tooth.MNI"                 
 [7] "Sigmodon.hispidus.bone.tooth.present.absent"       "Spermophilus.sp..bone.tooth.MNI"                  
 [9] "Spermophilus.sp..bone.tooth.present.absent"        "Spermophilus.spilosoma"                           
 [11] "Spermophilus.variegatus.bone.tooth.MNI"       "Spermophilus.variegatus.bone.tooth.present.absent"
