Primary LanguagePython

amphib

Generates some additional information for amphibians based on Amphibian Species of the World Database and AmphibiaWeb. You can download the full species list from AmphibiaWeb here.

The main difference between these two databases is that AmphibiaWeb do not provide information on the:

  • authors who described the species and also the year of description.
  • type locality: where the species was first observed in nature
  • distribution: general information on distribution of a given species.

This process will add the additional columns as necessary.
