Description:
A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; ). GBIF is a database of species occurrence records from sources all over the globe. rgbif includes functions for searching for taxonomic names, retrieving information on data providers, getting species occurrence records, getting counts of occurrence records, and using the GBIF tile map service to make rasters summarizing huge amounts of data.
