This function retrieves occurrence data for a given list of species using the GetOccs function. The function is designed to fetch data for species in Denmark (country = "DK") from 1999 to 2023 and return a cleaned data frame with selected columns.

Usage

get_presences(species, country = NULL, shapefile = NULL)

Arguments

species: A vector of species to use.
country: A two-letter country code (e.g., "DK" for Denmark) to define the area of interest.
shapefile: A shapefile (with lat/long coordinates) defining the area of interest. The function will create a minimum bounding rectangle around the shapefile to query the species occurrences. Default is NULL.

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{

} # }
