marinespeed R package

The goal of MarineSPEED is to provide a benchmark data set for presence-only species distribution modeling (SDM) in order to facilitate reproducible and comparable SDM research. It contains species occurrences (coordinates) from a wide diversity of marine species and associated environmental data from Bio-ORACLE and MARSPEC. Some additional information about MarineSPEED can be found in the R Shiny viewer at https://rshiny.lifewatch.be/marinespeed/.

Operation name: Bio-Oracle dataset

Web site: https://bio-oracle.org/

Description: Bio-ORACLE is a set of GIS rasters providing geophysical, biotic and environmental data for surface and benthic marine realms.

Function: The Bio-ORACLE main purpose is to be used together with biological occurrence for fitting Species Distribution Models and predict future distribution of species.

Operation name: MARSPEC

Web site: http://marspec.org/

Description: MARSPEC is a set of high resolution climatic and geophysical GIS data layers for the world ocean.

Function: MARSPEC can be used together with biological occurrence for fitting Species Distribution Models and predict future distribution of species.
