Function to clean duplicated longitude and latitude data

Description

Clean duplicated longitude and latitude data using threshold distance which is a distance (in grades) between points to be considered duplicates.

Usage

clean_dup(data, longitude, latitude, threshold = 0)

Arguments

data	A data.frame with longitude and latitude data
longitude	A character vector of the column name of longitude.
latitude	A character vector of the column name of latitude.
threshold	A numeric value representing the Euclidean distance between coordinates to be considered a duplicate.

Value

Returns a data.frame with coordinate data from species

genus <- "ambystoma"
# Species name
