Range Modeling Metadata Standards (RMMS) address three challenges:
they (i) are designed for convenience to encourage use, (ii) accommodate a wide
variety of applications, and (iii) are extensible to allow the community of range
modelers to steer it as needed. RMMS are based on a data dictionary that specifies
a hierarchical structure to catalog different aspects of the range modeling process.
The dictionary balances a constrained, minimalist vocabulary to improve
standardization with flexibility for users to provide their own values.
Merow et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1111/geb.12993> describe the standards in
more detail. Note that users who prefer to use the R package 'ecospat' can obtain it from
<https://github.com/ecospat/ecospat>.

A collection of tools to create species range maps based on
occurrence data, statistics, and spatial objects. Other tools in this
collection can be used to analyze the environmental characteristics of
the species ranges. Plotting options to represent results in various
manners are also available. Results obtained using these tools can be
used to explore the distribution of species and define areas of occupancy
and extent of occurrence of species. Other packages help to explore species
distributions using distinct methods, but options presented in this set of
tools (e.g., using trend surface analysis and concave hull polygons) are
exclusive. Description of methods, approaches, and comments for some of the
tools implemented here can be found in:
