If you’d like to visualize occurrence data using R, you can do this using the robis package.
After loading the installed package, let’s first fetch some occurrence data using the occurrence function. We will look at data for seahorses in the Genus Hippocampus.
library(robis)
hippoc <- occurrence("Hippocampus")We have two options for mapping:
map_ggplot(hippoc)
map_leaflet(hippoc)map_ggplot will produce a static map:
Whereas map_leaflet will produce an interactive leaflet map. For documentation on how to add to or change these maps (e.g.,change base map, add polygons or points, etc.), see the Leaflet for R.
