abstract: Provides step-by-step automation for integrating biodiversity data from
  multiple online aggregators, merging and cleaning datasets while addressing challenges
  such as taxonomic inconsistencies, georeferencing issues, and spatial or environmental
  outliers. Includes functions to extract environmental data and to define the biogeographic
  ranges in which species are most likely to occur. For methodological details see
  the associated publication.<https://doi.org/ 10.1002/ecog.08203>.
