galah: Biodiversity Data from the GBIF Node Network
Martin J. Westgate, Dax Kellie · 2021
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF', ) sources data from an international network of data providers, known as 'nodes'. Several of these nodes - the "living atlases" () - maintain their own web services using software originally developed by the Atlas of Living Australia ('ALA', ). 'galah' enables the R community to directly access data and resources hosted by 'GBIF' and its partner nodes.
