Examples

##Obtaining occurrences from example
data(CucurbitaData)

# convert the dataset for function
taxon <- "Cucurbita_cordata"
occurrenceData <- CucurbitaData

#Running generateCounts
counts <- generateCounts(taxon = taxon,
                    occurrenceData = occurrenceData
                    )
