uploading sonobat data

The sonobat_upload function is used to upload sonobat output to the urban_chiroptera database. The function takes three arguments: (1) the path and name of the sonobat file to upload, (2) the sur name of the investigator who processed the sonobat file (note that is not necessarily the person uploading the data), and (3) the name of the study site. The name of the investigator and the study site name are optional parameters with J. Dwyer represented as the default investigator processing the data, and the study site name extracted from the sonobat file name.

Upload a sonobat file with default arguments: J. Dwyer as the investigator who identified the bats, and extracting the site name from the sonobat file name.

sonobat_upload(sonobatFile = "~/Dropbox/development/urbanChiroptera/1-03_S1Winter_Output.csv")

Upload a sonobat file with the surveyor argument denoting that someone other than J. Dwyer processed the data in the sonobat file. The site name is extracted from the sonobat file name.

sonobat_upload(sonobatFile = "~/Dropbox/development/urbanChiroptera/1-03_S1Winter_Output.csv",
               surveyorSurname = "lewis")

Upload a sonobat file with the surveyor argument denoting that someone other than J. Dwyer processed the data in the sonobat file, and explicitly identifying the study site name.

sonobat_upload(sonobatFile = "~/Dropbox/development/urbanChiroptera/1-03_S1Winter_Output.csv",
               surveyorSurname = "lewis",
               siteName = "1_01")
