member

Behavior:

• Lists members (of certain ranks) under ancestral term(s).
• Retrieves taxonomic information from the local taxonomy database.
• Ancestral terms can be Taxonomy IDs or scientific names.
• By default, excludes “Environmental samples” division.
• The output file is in the same TSV format as nwr info --tsv.

Valid ranks:

• species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom
• Other ranks (e.g., clade, no rank) may work but are not officially supported.

Input:

• Accepts one or more ancestral Taxonomy IDs or scientific names.
• Optionally filter results by rank using --rank.

Output:

• TSV output includes: tax_id, sci_name, rank, division.
• By default, output is written to standard output.
• Use --outfile to write to a file instead.

Examples:

1. List all members under a genus nwr member 9605

2. List only species under a genus nwr member Homo --rank species

3. Include environmental samples nwr member 4751 --env

4. Multiple ancestors with rank filter nwr member Homo Pan --rank genus
