Automated flagging of common spatial and temporal
errors in biological and paleontological collection data, for the use
in conservation, ecology and paleontology. Includes automated tests to
easily flag (and exclude) records assigned to country or province
centroid, the open ocean, the headquarters of the Global Biodiversity
Information Facility, urban areas or the location of biodiversity
institutions (museums, zoos, botanical gardens, universities).
Furthermore identifies per species outlier coordinates, zero
coordinates, identical latitude/longitude and invalid coordinates.
Also implements an algorithm to identify data sets with a significant
proportion of rounded coordinates. Especially suited for large data
sets. The reference for the methodology is: Zizka et al. (2019)
