In TrashBirdEcology/bbsAssistant: Download and Munge Data and Information from the North American Breeding Bird Survey

Subset BBS Data by One or More Parameters

Description

This function subsets the BBS observations using taxonomic, geospatial, or temporal features.

Usage

munge_bbs_data(
  bbs_list,
  states = NULL,
  countries = NULL,
  species = NULL,
  genera = NULL,
  order = NULL,
  family = NULL,
  zero.fill = TRUE,
  rpid = 101,
  year.range = 1966:lubridate::year(Sys.Date()),
  keep.stop.level.data = FALSE,
  QualityCurrentID = 1,
  active.only = FALSE,
  observations.output = "flat"
)

Arguments

bbs_list	A list with element "species_list", obtained from running bbsAssistant::get_bbs_data()...
states	vector of one or more states/territories/sub-national political regions (see data(region_codes))
countries	vector of one or more nations/countries (see data(region_codes))
species	A vector of one or more species (using English Common Name) to subset the data by. Capitalization ignored.
genera	vector of one or more genera to retain in data
order	vector of one or more orders to retain in data
family	vector of one or more families to retain in data
zero.fill	If TRUE and a single species is provided in 'species', this function will output list$observations with zero-filled data.
rpid	mostly for internal use. See BBS metadata documentation for more details.
year.range	value(s) of year(s) by which to subset the data. If not specified will return all data in the dataset.
keep.stop.level.data	logical TRUE will keep the stop-level data and metadata. FALSE will remove these and provide only mean values or sums.
QualityCurrentID	an index used to indicate the quality of the BBS data. See BBS metadata at USGS ScienceBase for more information. Suggest keeping this value at 1 unless you know what you're doing
active.only	Logical. If TRUE keep only active routes. Discontinued routes will be discarded.
observations.output	return the object as a list of data frames ("list") or a single data frame ("flat" or "df" or "data.frame")
