get_bison: Download distribution data from BISON...

In rsh249/vegdistmod: Vegetation distribution modeling and spatial informatics

Description

This function requests data from the BISON database for a single species. Note that BISON requires exact name matching to binomial. Searching on a genus, for example, will match only records that are enterred with that name only, NOT all records in that genus identified by a binomial. Also note that BISON has no name correction so mispelling and errors are likely.

Usage

get_bison(taxon, maxrec = 10000)

Arguments

taxon	A string of the form 'genus species'.
maxrec	Limit on number of records to download.

Examples

## Not run: 
abies <- get_bison('Abies fraseri', 10000);

## End(Not run)
