Hi, and welcome!
Please see the FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one? Using a reprex, complete with representative data will attract quicker and more answers.
I also suggest that you repost this as a new topic. A reprex isn't needed, because this isn't yet a coding question. It would help if you would confirm that
- All your variables are character
- They can be referred to as
- islands
- order
- family
- species
- gender
and an idea of how many records you will be using and the form in which the data is now.
