Details of the filtering in gbif/getextr #3

Open TheTams opened 2 years ago

TheTams commented 2 years ago

Grab.R, line 87, implies basisOfRecord: Unknown is excluded from the occurrence results from the GBIF, but the filtering stage starting line 200 seems to only exclude fossil specimens, as well as those noted as coming form botanic gardens or herbaria. I would love to see the documentation clarify which options are being used when fetching the data (I have been trying to figure it out all day). Eventually, I would also love to be able to control which options it uses (prefer to turn off basisOfRecord unknown and Living specimen), without having to do all these initial steps manually.

Thanks, @TheTams! Glad to see you here. I will take a look at this issue this weekend and see about adding control over basisOfRecord and updating the documentation.
