Examples

# Create a data.frame containing species names and coordinates

test_data <- data.frame(sps=rep("Equus acephalus",10),
             lon=c(-43.2,-58.4,-56,-44,-54.5,-57.4,-60.1,-68.5,-71.3,-47.5),
             lat=c(-22.9,-34.6,-34.8,-20,-25.5,-25.2,-3,-32.5,-41.1,-15.5),
             gender=rep("female",10),head_size=rep("headless individual"))

sps_occurrence <- giveOcc(test_data,"sps","lon","lat")

sps_sp <- occSpatialPoints(sps_occurrence)
