In RS-eco/climateNiche: R package for analysing the climatic niche of a species

Get GBIF data for a terrestrial species

Description

Function to extract GBIF data and save it to file. Output further does not contain any outliers and only files on land.

Usage

terrestrialGBIF(
  species = "Equus quagga",
  genus = NULL,
  limit = 50000,
  hasCoordinate = TRUE,
  path = getwd(),
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

species	Latin name of species.
genus	Genus of species
limit	Maximum number of records to obtain from GBIF. Note that there is a hard maximum of 200,000, which is calculated as the limit+start, so start=199,000 and limit=2000 won't work
hasCoordinate	logical. Return only occurence records with lat/long data (TRUE) or all records (FALSE, default).
path	File path, where to save the species data
overwrite	logical. If TRUE, fill will be overwritten if it exists.

Value

SpatialPointsDataFrame with the occurrence of the species
