occ() reports more records returned than found
Hi,
Sometimes, the object returned by occ()
reports more records returned than found, apparently because this count is leaving out the OBIS data:
orca <- spocc::occ("Orcinus orca", from = c("gbif", "bison", "inat", "vertnet", "obis", "ala"),
has_coords = TRUE, limit = 10000, geometry = c(-10, 36, 12, 38))
orca
# Searched: gbif, bison, inat, vertnet, obis, ala
# Occurrences - Found: 2,762, Returned: 2,784
# Search type: Scientific
# gbif: Orcinus orca (179)
# inat: Orcinus orca (9)
# vertnet: Orcinus orca (304)
# obis: Orcinus orca (22)
# ala: Orcinus orca (2270)
#
# Note: spocc cannot estimate complete additional records found as none available for ebird
It also looks like the "ala" dataset is ignoring the 'geometry' argument, and this does not seem to be documented in the help file.
Cheers!
