Nearest relatives of LISTED

OCCURRENCE

ARB_NT/Search/More search/Search Next Relatives of LISTED Species in PT Server

 

DESCRIPTION

Scans PT_SERVER database for the nearest relatives of the species currently listed in search window and writes them into a field of each of those species.

See ´Nearest relative search´ for a description of the used algorithm and common parameters.

 

SPECIFIC PARAMETERS

Results

Maximum number of relatives written into the DB field. Use 0 (or empty field) for unlimited number of relatives.

Min. Score

Sets a lower limit for the relative or absolute score. Relatives with lower score are NOT written into the DB field.

Add score?

Whether to add score information to the DB field or not.

Result field

Specifies the field into which the information about found relatives is written.
 

NOTES

You may use the generated database entries to mark species (see ´Mark by reference´).

 

EXAMPLES

None

 

WARNINGS

Storing IDs in a field will not survive complete ID renames (e.g. if nameserver changes).

If the results are stored without score, you may use the following ACI expressions with ´Modify fields of listed´ to convert the IDs into accession numbers

| split(";") | findspec("readdb(acc)") | merge(";")

and vice versa:

| split(";") | findacc("readdb(name)") | merge(";")
