BIEN_ranges_species | R Documentation |
BIEN_ranges_species extracts range maps for the specified species.
BIEN_ranges_species( species, directory = NULL, matched = TRUE, match_names_only = FALSE, include.gid = FALSE, ... )
species |
A single species or a vector of species. |
directory |
Directory that range maps should be saved in. If none is specified, range maps will be saved in the current working directory. |
matched |
Return a list of taxa that were downloaded. Default is TRUE. |
match_names_only |
Check for range maps for the taxa specified without downloading range maps. Default is FALSE. |
include.gid |
Should the files returned have a unique GID appended to them? This is needed if downloading multiple maps for the same species. |
... |
Additional arguments passed to internal functions. |
Range maps for specified species.
