If name ends with "and", such as "Roeland Lastname", citation() will chop "and" as a separate word giving "Roel and Lastname". This is the case in the upcoming release of vegan (1.6-8) just submitted to CRAN. Basically, this seems to happen in utils:::as.personList.default > unlist(as.personList("Roeland Lastname")) name.first name.middle name.last name.first name.middle name.last "" "" "Roel" "" "" "Lastname" and the culprit line seems to be: x <- unlist(strsplit(x, "[[:space:]]?(,|and)[[:space:]]+")) Fortunately, persons like Anders Andtfolk and Mandalay Grandjean are not chopped, because they don't have space after "and". ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
