Search 'Vertnet', a 'Database' of Vertebrate Specimen Records

Retrieve, map and summarize data from the 'VertNet.org' archives (< https://vertnet.org/>). Functions allow searching by many parameters, including 'taxonomic' names, places, and dates. In addition, there is an interface for conducting spatially delimited searches, and another for requesting large 'datasets' via email.
