Package: virtualspecies 1.6.1

virtualspecies: Generation of Virtual Species Distributions

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