[R-sig-eco] occ_data rgbif - are the records random when you set it to download a set limit

[Chris Buddenhagen]

Hi

In this example for downloading data for Ulex europeus and Ligustrum
lucidum when I limit the number of records to 10,000 are they randomly
selected from the total list of records (one has over 100,000 and the other
14000 occurrence records total)?

gbif_dat <- occ_data(
taxonKey = c("2951984;3172297"),
basisOfRecord =
"OBSERVATION;HUMAN_OBSERVATION;OCCURRENCE;MATERIAL_CITATION;LIVING_SPECIMEN",
coordinateUncertaintyInMeters = "0,10000",
limit = 10000,
hasCoordinate = TRUE,
hasGeospatialIssue = FALSE
)

Cheers
