modleR

By Andrea Sánchez-Tapia in biodiversity informatics open science project R R packages

modleR is an R package that implements an open, reproducible workflow for ecological niche modeling.

Package site: https://model-r.github.io/modleR/ GitHub repo: https://github.com/Model-R/modleR

You can install modleR from GitHub:

# Without vignette
remotes::install_github("Model-R/modleR", build = TRUE)
# With vignette
remotes::install_github("Model-R/modleR",
                        build = TRUE,
                        dependencies = TRUE,
                        build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"),
                        build_vignettes = TRUE)
