In ritalic: Interface to the ITALIC Database of Lichen Biodiversity

ritalic

ritalic is an R package which gives you access to ITALIC mediated data via its RESTful API.

It is maintained and updated by the Research Unit of Professor Pier Luigi Nimis, at the University of Trieste (NE Italy), Department of Life Sciences.
