• {FishPhyloMaker} is an R package that has two main functions, FishTaxaMaker and FishPhyloMaker. The first generate a data frame from fish species names provided by the user, checking the validity of these names and possible synonyms by using the information presented in Fishbase database through the package rfishbase . Species that were not found in Fishbase are printed in the command line, and the user must inform manually the Family and the Order of these species. The output of FishTaxaMaker() function is a list containing the following objects:

naturaList

R package

• Maintainer:Arthur Vinicius Rodrigues / Author: Gabriel Nakamura
• The goal of naturaList package is to provide tools for check identification reliability in species occurrence records data sets. The main functionality of naturaList package is provide an automated way to identify for the taxon of interest, which records has the most reliable level of classification, i.e, those records identified by specialists. In addition other characteristics of the records could be used to derive up to six levels of confidence.
