fauna_discrepancies.RdResolve discrepancies between species and subspecies information
fauna_discrepancies(data)(data.frame) the data.frame imported with the
load_faunabr function.
a data.frame with the discrepancies solved
In the original dataset, discrepancies may exist between species and subspecies information. An example of a discrepancy is when species occurs only in one state (e.g., SP), but a subspecies or variety of the same species occurs in another states (e.g., SP and RJ). This function rectifies such discrepancies by considering distribution (states and countries) life form, and habitat. For instance, if a subspecies is recorded in a specific state, it implies that the species also occurs in that state
