[R-sig-Geo] dismo package : gbif function error

[Ahmed El-Gabbas]

Hello all,
I am having an unusual problem using gbif function of the dismo package.

When I am using this code: acaule = gbif("solanum", "acaule*", geo=FALSE)
this error appears: "
http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/occurrence/count?scientificname=solanum+
Error in gbif("solanum", "", geo = FALSE) : invalid request"

It seems that this is a problem of accessing to the GBIF API not a problem
of dismo package itself. The website used by the gbif function to get the
records from the GBIF website "http://data.gbif.org/" is no longer usable
and gives this error when accessing it using regular browser "data.gbif.org
has now been decommissioned. Please use www.gbif.org for all data access "

Any suggestions,
Regards,
Ahmed
