auk_species: Filter the EBD by species
In mstrimas/auk: eBird Data Processing with AWK

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Define a filter for the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD) based on species. This function only defines the filter and, once all filters have been defined, auk_filter() should be used to call AWK and perform the filtering.

1	auk_species(x, species, replace)

`x`	`auk_ebd` object; reference to EBD file created by `auk_ebd()`.
`species`	character; species to filter by, provided as scientific or English common names, or a mixture of both. These names must match the official eBird Taxomony (ebird_taxonomy).
`replace`	logical; multiple calls to `auk_species()` are additive, unless `replace = FALSE`, in which case the previous list of species to filter by will be removed and replaced by that in the current call.

An auk_ebd object.

# common and scientific names can be mixed
species <- c("Gray Jay", "Pluvialis squatarola")
system.file("extdata/ebd-sample.txt", package = "auk") %>%
  auk_ebd() %>%
  auk_species(species)
