warbleR (version 1.1.23)

find_annotations: Obtain annotations from 'audioblast.org' data base

Description

find_annotations downloads sound file annotations and metadata from audioblast.org.

Usage

find_annotations(qword, parallel = 1, pb = TRUE, warbler.format = FALSE)

Arguments

qword

Character vector of length one indicating the scientific name of the species to search for at audioblast's annotations database. For example, Phaethornis longirostris.

parallel

Numeric. Controls whether parallel computing is applied when downloading mp3 files. It specifies the number of cores to be used. Default is 1 (i.e. no parallel computing).

pb

Logical argument to control progress bar. Default is TRUE.

warbler.format

Logical. If TRUE columns are renamed using the standard names for a selection table as in 'warbleR', frequency limit columns (high and low frequency) in 'Hz' are converted to 'kHz' (as in warbleR selection tables) and the column names are changed to: 'sound.files', 'selec', 'start', 'end', 'bottom.freq' and 'top.freq'. Default is FALSE.

Value

A data frame with the annotation information.

Details

This function queries for annotations on acoustic media in the open-access online repository audioblast.org.
