Get the lower (child) taxa for a taxon name or code
getChildTaxa(
taxon = NULL,
code = NULL,
convert = TRUE,
level = c("order", "suborder", "greatgroup", "subgroup")
)A character vector of taxa (case-insensitive)
A character vector of taxon codes (case sensitive)
Convert results from taxon codes to taxon names? Default: TRUE
Filter results to specific level? Default: "order","suborder","greatgroup","subgroup"
A named list, where names are taxon codes and values are character vectors representing parent taxa
