Install

Install the package

You can install the latest development version of jabotR package from GitHub as follows:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) 
install.packages("BiocManager") 

# Install the development version of jabotR from GitHub, 
# together with its required dependencies 
BiocManager::install("DBOSlab/jabotR", dependencies = TRUE)

Caution

jabotR requires R (>= 4.1.0). If you already have a recent R installation, you can skip straight to the install step above.

library(jabotR)

Quick Start

Once installed, a good first step is to check which herbarium collections are currently published on JABOT:

jabot_summary(verbose = TRUE,
              save = FALSE)

From there, browse the How-To Articles to learn how to download and filter specimen records, and how to assess a herbarium’s taxonomic gaps and representativeness against the Flora e Funga do Brasil.
