  country = NULL,
  state = NULL,
  county = NULL,
  country.code = NULL,
  state.code = NULL,
  county.code = NULL,
  cultivated = FALSE,
  new.world = NULL,
  all.taxonomy = FALSE,
  native.status = FALSE,
  natives.only = TRUE,

  political.boundaries = FALSE,
  collection.info = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• country: A single country or vector of countries.
• state: A state or vector of states (or other primary political divisions, e.g. provinces).
• county: A single county or a vector of counties (or other secondary political division, e.g. parish).
• country.code: A single country (or other primary administrative boundary) code or a vector of country codes equal in length to the vector of states/province codes.
• state.code: A single state/province code, or a vector of states/province codes.
• county.code: A single county (or other secondary administrative boundary) code or a vector of county codes equal in length to the vectors of states/province codes and country codes.
• cultivated: Return known cultivated records as well? Default is FALSE.
• new.world: NULL (The default) returns global records, TRUE returns only New World, and FALSE only Old World.
• all.taxonomy: Return all taxonomic information? This includes the raw data as well as the "scrubbed" data.
• native.status: Return information on introduction status? The default value is FALSE. A value of TRUE also returns additional information on introduction status.
• natives.only: Exclude detected introduced species? Default is TRUE.
• observation.type: Return information on type of observation (i.e. specimen vs. plot)? The default value is FALSE.
• political.boundaries: Return information on political boundaries for an observation? The default value is FALSE.
• collection.info: Return additional information about collection and identification? The default value is FALSE.
• ...: Additional arguments passed to internal functions.

Returns

Dataframe containing occurrence records for the specified states/provinces.

Note

Political division (or political division code) spelling needs to be exact and case-sensitive, see BIEN_metadata_list_political_names for a list of political divisions and associated codes.

US FIA coordinates have been fuzzed and swapped, for more details see: https://www.fia.fs.fed.us/tools-data/spatial/Policy/index.php

This function requires you supply either 1) a single country with one or more states, or 2) vectors of equal length for each political level.

Examples
