get_expert_distribution_shpR Documentation

match species CAAB code with CSIRO expert distribution shapefiles, when available.

Description

Get expert distribution shapefile, if available, from CSIRO's Geoserver. If not, ALA shapefiles (http://www.ala.org.au/) are mathced against species names and used to validate whether detections occur within each species' known range.

Usage

get_expert_distribution_shp(CAAB_species_id, spe)

Arguments

CAAB_species_id

CAAB id of species for which a distribution shapefile is required

spe

species_scientific_name for which a distribution shapefile is required

Details

For a few species acoustically tagged no shapefile exists, for a few others multiple shapefiles need to be merged into a single one. sf::st_buffer extends the boundary of the original shapefile.

Value

shp_b is a spatial polygon sf data.frame object of the species' distribution
