Summarize mammal diversity by country, continent, or subregion — mdd_distribution_summary

This function is experimental and may change in future releases.

Expand MDD distribution fields and compute diversity summaries by geographic unit. The summary reports counts of distinct orders, families, genera, living species, and extinct species for each unit listed in the selected MDD distribution column.

Usage

mdd_distribution_summary_raw(
  level = c("country", "continent", "subregion"),
  checklist = NULL
)

Arguments

level: Geographic level to summarize. Use "country", "continent", or "subregion".
checklist: Optional checklist data frame. Defaults to mdd_checklist.

Value

A tibble with one row per geographic unit and the columns region, orders, families, genera, living_species, extinct_species, and total_species.

Examples

mdd_distribution_summary_raw(
  level = "country",
  checklist = dplyr::slice(mdd_checklist, 1:50)
)
