Match Species Names Against Peru Mammals Database
Provides a curated taxonomic backbone of mammal species from Peru based on Pacheco et al. (2021) "Lista actualizada de la diversidad de los mamíferos del Perú y una propuesta para su actualización" <doi:10.15381/rpb.v28i4.21019>. The package includes standardized species data, occurrence by ecoregions, endemism status, and tools for validating and matching scientific names through exact and fuzzy procedures. It is designed as a lightweight and dependable reference for ecological, environmental, biogeographic, and conservation workflows that require reliable species information for Peruvian mammals.
