rOpenSci- new R package to search biodiversity data
Awesome new (ish?) R package from the gang over at rOpenSci
Tired of searching biodiversity occurance data through individual platforms? The "spocc" package comes to your rescue and allows for a streamlined workflow in the collection and mapping of species occurrence data from range of sites including: GBIF, iNaturalist, Ecoengine, AntWeb, eBird, and USGS's BISON.
There is a caveat however, since the sites use alot of the same repositories the authors of the package caution to check for dulicates. Regardless what a great way to simplify your workflow!
Find the package from CRAN: install.packages("spocc") and read more about it here!
