 * Documented a behavior of `npn_species_type()` where setting `kingdom` to `NULL` returns results for *both* `Plantae` and `Animalia`. 
 * Missing values returned by `npn_stations_by_state()` previously returned as the string `"emptyvalue"` are now returned as `NA`s.
 * `rnpn` now has `dplyr` as a dependency instead of `plyr`
