In the ALA, all records are associated with an identifier that uniquely
identifies the taxon to which that record belongs. Once those identifiers
are known, this function allows you to use them to look up further information
on the taxon in question. Effectively this is the inverse function to
search_taxa(), which takes names and provides identifiers. The resulting
data.frame of taxonomic information can also be passed directly to
atlas_ functions to filter records to the specified taxon or taxa.
search_identifiers(identifier)string: A vector containing one or more taxonomic
identifiers, given as strings.
An object of class tbl_df, data.frame (aka a tibble) and ala_id
containing taxonomic information.
