| Function name | Description | Example |
| ————- | ———– | ——- |
| aw_data | Search for data by taxonomic level, full species name, a bounding box, habitat, elevation or type. | Search by a species name
aw_data(scientific_name = "acanthognathus brevicornis")
or by a genus
crem <- aw_data(genus = "crematogaster")
Search by a bounding box
aw_data(bbox = '37.77,-122.46,37.76,-122.47')
Search by an elevation band
aw_data(min_elevation = 1500, max_elevation = 2000) |
| aw_unique | Obtain a list of unique levels by various taxonomic ranks | aw_unique(rank = "subfamily") genus_list <- aw_unique(rank = "genus")aw_unique(rank = "species") |
| aw_images | Search photos by type or time since added. | aw_images(since = 5)
aw_images(since = 5, type = "h") |
| aw_coords | Search for specimens by location and radius | aw_coords(coord = "37.76,-122.45", r = 5) |
| aw_code | Search for a specimen by record number | aw_code(occurrenceid = "CAS:ANTWEB:alas188691") |
| aw_map | Map georeferenced data | adf <- aw_data(genus = "acanthognathus", georeferenced = TRUE)aw_map(adf) |
