Other databases are out there as well, which we can pull in. spocc is an R package to query and collect species occurrence data from many sources. The goal is to to create a seamless search experience across data sources, as well as creating unified outputs across data sources. spocc currently interfaces with seven major biodiversity repositories 1. [Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)][gbif] (via rgbif ) GBIF is a government funded open data repository with several partner organizations with the express goal of providing access to data on Earth's biodiversity. The data are made available by a network of member nodes, coordinating information from various participant organizations and government agencies. 2. [iNaturalist][inat] iNaturalist provides access to crowd sourced citizen science data on species observations. 3. [VertNet][vertnet] (via rvertnet ) Similar to rgbif (see below), VertNet provides access to more than 80 million vertebrate records spanning a large number of institutions and museums primarly covering four major disciplines (mammology, herpetology, ornithology, and icthyology). 4. [eBird][ebird] (via rebird ) ebird is a database developed and maintained by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society.
