Mid-Domain Effect and Species Richness Patterns

Description

Range Cohesion and Range Scatter Models in R

Details

Package: rangemodelR
Type: Package
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 2023-06-08
License: GPL (>= 2)
LazyLoad: No

Used for generating randomized community matrices under strict range cohesion. The package can handle data where species occurrence are recorded across one or two dimensions.One dimensional data are typically for sites ordered along a variable of interest such as elevation or latitude.rangemod1d is used for such data. Range cohesion is enforced using an 'nb' object (generated by poly2nb of the spdep package).
