New Keys for download_predicate_dsl #511

Closed sjevelazco closed 2 years ago

sjevelazco commented 2 years ago

Hi

I would like to suggest adding extra Keys related to: species genus family

Currently, the package has "scientificName", but for using it is necessary to provide complete species names (e.g. Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub.). Having the possibility of searching only with species names without authors (e.g. Peltophorum dubium), or genus or family would be great. Thanks

Hi @sjevelazco,

There is not an option on GBIF to use occ_download() with a scientificName.

For downloads scientific names are translated into taxonKeys for downloads. Each scientificName gets its own key at GBIF taxonKey, so what looks like using scientificName for downloading at GBIF.org is actually still using taxonKeys.
