Biodiversity Data Visualizations

Provides a set of functions to create basic visualizations to quickly preview different aspects of biodiversity information such as inventory completeness, extent of coverage (taxonomic, temporal and geographic), gaps and biases.

About

Biodiversity Data Visualizations using R. This package offers a set of functions to visualize biodiversity occurrence data through R. Please check the paper describing the package Barve, V., and J. Otegui. 2016. bdvis: visualizing biodiversity data in R. Bioinformatics:btw333. https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/32/19/3049/2196391

The development of the package started as a Google Summer of Code project.
