rangemap

What is rangemap?

rangemap is an R package with various tools to create species range maps based on occurrence data, statistics, and SpatialPolygons objects. Other tools of this package can be used to analyze environmental characteristics of the species ranges and to create high quality figures of these maps. All the functions that create species ranges can also generate representations of species extents of occurrence (using convex hulls) and areas of occupancy according to the IUCN criteria. Spatial files of the resulting polygons can be saved in the working directory if it is needed. These tools were presented by Cobos et al. (2022).
