get_range: Select Bromeliaceae Species Ranges by Taxonomy and Traits

In idiv-biodiversity/bromeliad: Distribution Data for 3272 Bromeliad Species

Description

Get the geographic range for all species selected via the arguments. The type of range estimate depends on the “type” argument.

Usage

get_range(
  scientific = NULL,
  canonical = NULL,
  genus = NULL,
  subfamily = NULL,
  life_form = NULL,
  assessment = NULL,
  range_size = NULL,
  type = "polygon"
)

Arguments

scientific	a character vector of full scientific names including authorities, of the species of interest
canonical	a character vector of canonical names, of the species of interest.
genus	a character vector of genera names to select.
subfamily	a character vector of subfamily names to select.
life_form	a character vector of life forms to select.
assessment	a character vector of conservation assessment to select.
range_size	a vector of two numericals with the minimum and maximum range size (in square kilometres), to select.
type	a cahracter defining the output format, see details

Details

Modelled ranges are available for 542 species, range polygons for 2395 species. For species with model distribution, the range polygons are based on the models, otherwise on a convex hull around available occurrence records, or a 50 km buffer for species with less than 3 occurrence records available. See Zizka et al 2019 for methods.

Value

Depending on the “type” argument. If “binary” a presence/absence raster based on the modelled habitat suitability, at 100x100 km resolution in Behrmann projection, if “suitability” the habitat suitability as predicted by an ensemble model in Behrmann projection, and if polygon a simple feature object in lat/lon projection. .

Examples

get_range(scientific = "Aechmea mexicana Baker")
get_range(scientific = "Aechmea mexicana Baker", type = "binary")
get_range(scientific = "Aechmea mexicana Baker", type = "suitability")
get_range(canonical = "Aechmea mexicana")
get_range(genus = "Aechmea")
get_range(genus = "Aechmea", type = "binary")
get_range(genus = c("Aechmea", "Zizkaea"))
get_range(subfamily = "Pitcairnioideae")
get_range(life_form = "epiphyte")
get_range(assessment = c("CR", "VU"))
get_range(range_size = c(1000, 10000))
