Occurrence records for Sturnella magna (USA)
Short title:
Mdwlark 86971 observation records for Eastern Meadowlark. Obtained from the Avian Knowledge Network (see the original query). After you download the data locally, you can convert it to a point map using:
> AKN <- read.delim("AKN_Query_Results_95201085842.txt")
# fix some columns:
> AKN$Observation.Count <- ifelse(is.na(AKN$Observation.Count), AKN$Obs.Count.At.Least, AKN$Observation.Count)
> AKN$Duration.In.Hours <- ifelse(AKN$Duration.In.Hours==0, 0.5, AKN$Duration.In.Hours)
> AKN$Observation.Date <- as.Date(paste(AKN$Observation.Date))
# records in no / area / time (unfortunatelly Survey.Area.Size is missing)
> AKN$Dens <- AKN$Observation.Count/AKN$Duration.In.Hours
> AKN.pnt <- subset(AKN, !is.na(AKN$Longitude)&!is.na(AKN$Latitude)&is.finite(AKN$Dens),
+ select=c("Global.Unique.Identifier","Longitude","Latitude","Observation.Date",
+ "Dens","Collection.Code","Locality","Survey.Area.Identifier","Observation.Count","Duration.In.Hours"))
# Convert to a point map:
> AEA <- "+proj=aea +lat_1=29.5 +lat_2=45.5 +lat_0=23 +lon_0=-96 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80
+ +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs"
> coordinates(AKN.pnt) <-~Longitude+Latitude
> proj4string(AKN.pnt) <- CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")
> AKN.pntXY <- spTransform(AKN.pnt, CRS("AEA"))
> save(AKN.pntXY, file="AKN_Sturnella_magna_USA.RData")

Testimonials"Few days ago I have received copies of my book from Lulu.com. The prints are really impressive! If I think about it - Lulu never gave me any physical training about how to make a book cover, how to optimize the cost/readability balance etc; I only followed instructions on their website and submitted the document myself; and now I am looking at prints which are exactly what I would expect from a professional publisher."
