Check if species are endemic to Peru — is_endemic

Simplified wrapper specifically for checking endemism status of mammals in Peru. Only evaluates species that are confirmed to occur in Peru.

Usage

is_endemic_peru(splist, return_logical = FALSE, filter_exact = FALSE)

Arguments

splist: Character vector of species names
return_logical: Logical. If TRUE, returns logical vector (TRUE/FALSE/NA). If FALSE, returns descriptive character vector (default: FALSE)
filter_exact: Logical. If TRUE, only considers exact matches (default: FALSE)

Value

If return_logical = FALSE: Character vector with endemism status If return_logical = TRUE: Logical vector (TRUE = endemic, FALSE = not endemic, NA = not found or endemism unknown)

Examples


species <- c("Panthera onca",
             "Atelocynus microtis",
             "Felis catus",
             "Myotis bakeri")

is_endemic_peru(species)
#> [1] "Not endemic"     "Not endemic"     "Not found"       "Endemic to Peru"
# Descriptive output
