Automated assessment of accuracy and geographical status of georeferenced biological data. The methods rely on reference regions, namely checklists and range maps. The package includes functions to obtain data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (https://www.gbif.org) and from the Global Inventory of Floras and Traits (https://gift.uni-goettingen.de/home). Alternatively, the user can input their own data. Furthermore, it provides easy visualisation of the data and the results through the plotting functions. It is especially suited for large datasets. The reference for the methodology is: Arlé et al. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13629

A set of functions for reproducible and shareable analysis of models from an online repository, comparing and diagnostic models. The package has been developed specifically to improve reproducibility and comparability of SDMs in R by allowing users to encode entire SDM analyses as repeatable and extensible workflows consisting of independently executable, community-contributed modules. The module-workflow structure enables scientists to more easily create and share components of their analysis, and then, access, modify, reuse and combine the components of others.

The package provides a framework for generating virtual species distributions, a procedure increasingly used in ecology to improve species distribution models. It integrates the existing methodological approaches with the objective of generating virtual species distributions with increased ecological realism.

The package provides individual-based simulations of spatial eco-evolutionary dynamics. It is based on the software RangeShifter, making it flexible and fast. RangeShiftR models the processes of demography, dispersal and evolution in an inter-dependent way, offering substantial complexity in the corresponding modelling choices. It is entirely open-source and aims to facilitate the application of individual-based and mechanistic modelling to eco-evolutionary questions.

A set of functions that can be used to spatially thin species occurrence data. The resulting thinned data can be used in ecological modeling, such as ecological niche modeling.

The package contains a number of discrete functions, each of which can be used to assess a particular form of bias, uncertainty or coverage. Generally, users must pass their occurrence data to the functions along with a list of time periods into which the outputs will be split. The functions generally return a list with two elements: a ggplot2 object, and the data that underpins that plot.

bioRad provides standardized methods for extracting and reporting biological signals from weather radars. It includes functionality to inspect low-level radar data, process these data into meaningful biological information on animal speeds and directions at different altitudes in the atmosphere, visualize these biological extractions, and calculate further summary statistics.

This package is a versatile tool that aims at (1) defining the minimum background extent necessary to fit Species Distribution Models reliable enough to extract ecologically relevant conclusions from them and (2) optimizing the modelling process in terms of computation demands.

Read and write Frictionless Data Packages. A 'Data Package' (https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/) is a simple container format and standard to describe and package a collection of (tabular) data. It is typically used to publish FAIR (https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/) and open datasets.

The package estmates the importance and the relative contribution of factors to explain species distribution by using several plots. A global geographic raster file for each environmental variable may be also obtained with the mean relative contribution, considering all species present in each raster cell, of the factor to explain species distribution. Finally, for each variable it is also possible to compare the frequencies of any variable obtained in the cells where the species is present with the frequencies of the same variable in the cells of the extent.
