vector of taxa IDs.
taxonname Taxon name or partial name. You can pass wildcard characters
using %.
taxagroup The taxonomic grouping the taxon belongs to, from the Neotoma
taxagrouptypes table.
ecolgroup The ecological group of interest for the Neotoma taxon (from
the Neotoma ecolgrouptypes table)
status The taxonomic extinction status of the taxon, either extinct
(1, True) or extant (0, False).
