This function is wrapper of the occ function from the spocc package.

Usage

get_records_by_hexagon(species_name, aoi_sf, res = 7, providers = NULL)

Arguments

species_name: (character) Species name.
aoi_sf: (character) The spatial area of interest as an sf object.
res: (numeric) The option for the resolution of image to download. Should between 1 and 16.
providers: (character) The providers argument allows you to specify multiple data sources (e.g., "gbif", "inat", etc.).
