Lifecycle: stable CRAN status Codecov test coverage DOI R-CMD-check

Overview

This package offers convenient access to a new and extensive database containing a list of r nrow(ppendemic::ppendemic_tab13) endemic plant species found in Peru. This comprehensive collection provides detailed botanical information, including accepted names, family, authorship, publication details, and the place and date of first publication for each species.

The construction of the ppendemic package is built upon valuable data sourced from the renowned World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) database. As a highly authoritative resource, WCVP offers comprehensive information on plant taxonomy and occurrence worldwide. Leveraging this data, the ppendemic package aims to present an up-to-date and novel compilation of Peru's endemic plant species, tailored to the diverse ecosystems of the region. By incorporating meticulously curated data from WCVP, this package offers users a reliable and accurate resource to explore, analyze, and gain deeper insights into the rich diversity of Peru's endemic flora.

Representing a significant advancement in our understanding of Peru's endemic plant species, the ppendemic package update the previously known list of 5,507 species presented in the Red Book of Endemic Plants of Peru, bringing the total to an impressive r nrow(ppendemic::ppendemic_tab13) species. This substantial increase in documented endemic species is a testament to the integration of data and the commitment to presenting the most up-to-date information. With this expanded and current database, researchers, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts alike can now delve into a more comprehensive and accurate account of Peru's unique and diverse plant biodiversity. The ppendemic package stands as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study, conservation, and appreciation of Peru's endemic plant life.

The database spans a total of r length(unique(ppendemic::ppendemic_tab13$family )) families, with particular richness observed in the r names(rev(sort(table(ppendemic::ppendemic_tab13$family))))[1:10] families, all of which boast the highest number of endemic species in Peru.
