Read CalCOFI species data (deprecated) — cc_read

The species table no longer exists: the taxon consolidation replaced the ~7 per-dataset taxonomy tables with one global taxon keyed worms:<id> / itis:<id>.

Usage

cc_read_species(..., version = "latest", collect = TRUE)

Arguments

...: Additional filter expressions passed to dplyr::filter()
version: Database version (default: "latest")
collect: If TRUE, collect results into memory. If FALSE, return lazy dbplyr table (default: TRUE)

Value

Tibble of taxa (if collect=TRUE) or lazy table

Details

This called tbl(con, "species") and failed with "Can't query fields" against any release from v2026.07 on. It now forwards to cc_read_taxon() with a warning, so existing scripts keep running — but the columns differ (scientific_name and common_name survive; species_id is replaced by taxon_key), so check any code that joined on species_id.
