National checklists and red lists for European butterflies

Rationale

This repository contains the functionality to standardize the National checklists and red lists for European butterflies to a Darwin Core checklist that can be harvested by GBIF.

The repository also includes the script to integrate red lists, calculate weighted red list values, and create the tables and figures for Maes et al. (2019).

Repo structure

The repository structure is based on Cookiecutter Data Science and the Checklist recipe. Files and directories indicated with GENERATED should not be edited manually.
