end_check_endemic: Check endemicity based on species range.

In pratikunterwegs/endemicr: Tools to Determine Endemicity

Description

Check endemicity based on species range.

Usage

end_check_endemic(aoi, utm_epsg_code, buffer_distance_km, sp_range)

Arguments

aoi	A spatial representation of the area in which the species is expected to be endemic. Must be an sf-*POLYGON. Assumed to be in the WGS84 system (normal long-lat).
utm_epsg_code	An EPSG code (see e.g. epsg.io/4326) for the UTM system appropriate to the area of interest. Necessary to draw buffers in metres when the coordinates are provided in longitude-latitude.
buffer_distance_km	A buffer distance in kilometres. Primarily useful for marine species which may be considered endemic to waters off a feature such as an island.
sp_range	A spatial representation of the species' range. May be any GDAL compatible file, or an sf-*POLYGON. Assumed to be in the WGS84 system (normal long-lat).

Value

The proportion of the species range within a buffer around the area of interest.
