Reads SAU distribution of taxons

Description

This function loads the SAU distribution of a taxon from DROBO. You have to be connected to the UBC network and have access to the CORU-DROBO in order to use the function. You can choose to return the data or just a map for visualization. Note that no user/id will be required but the path wont be found. Note that this function needs the CORU coordinate grid

Usage

read_distribution(taxon_key, root_path = NA, output = "plot", coords = FALSE)

Arguments

taxon_key	is the species to load as taxon key number.
root_path	Expects the root computer path before DROBO. Note: do not include /
output	"OPtions to return data or plot. Default to plot
box	Expects a vector with four values in the following order: low lat, high lat, low long and high long to load geographical specific data.. if FALSE it will load global database
