Building An Inclusive Botany: The Radicle Dream

Authors/Creators

Description

This repository contains scripts and data files associated with Figure 2 in Mabry et al.


On June 28th, 2020, we downloaded all records where Kingdom was equal to "Plantae" from iDigBio (https://www.idigbio.org/) using the API (https://biodiversity-specimen-data.github.io/specimen-data-use-case/Download_API_example) (see Archive.zip). Records were then filtered to remove observations with missing dates or those that had an event date that was beyond the years 1532 to 2020 (01_Processing.R). Our final data set contained 1,048,479 records (allplantscleaned_fixed.csv). 

We then focused on collector ID (dwc: recordedBy) and attempted to parse collectors’ names. Due to inconsistencies, we had to additionally manually edit each record (final data file: alplants_countryfixed_100120.csv). Once collector names were separated by a semicolon, we were able to investigate how collection credit has changed over the years (02_CollectorComposition.Rmd). See 03_Figure.Rmd to recreate our final figure.
