gbifRetriever: Retrieve downloaded GBIF data sets

Description

Searches for the most recent instance of a data set that has been previously downloaded from GBIF to a local machine and imports it into `occCite`. This is designed to be an internal function. It is usable on its own, but you must have already navigated to the folder that contains the download zip files from GBIF.

Usage

gbifRetriever(taxon = NULL)

Arguments

taxon

A single species

Value

A list of lists containing (1) a data frame of occurrence data; (2) GBIF search metadata for every GBIF download in the specified directory. (3) the raw occurrence data from GBIF.
