BioDyn: Spatiotemporal and Environmental Exploration for Biodiversity Occurrence Data
Abstract
BioDyn provides tools to support reproducible workflows for the spatiotemporal exploration of species occurrence data in ecology and biogeography. The package integrates data ingestion, construction of presence–absence datasets, spatial filtering and user-defined segmentation, environmental raster enrichment, and diagnostic visualization. BioDyn helps users assess sampling effort and bias and explore intra-specific spatial and temporal patterns prior to formal ecological modeling. Description of files BioDyn_0.1.0.tar.gz Compressed source archive of the R package BioDyn (version 0.1.0). The file contains the complete package structure, including R functions, documentation, metadata, and dependencies required for installation using install.packages() or devtools::install(). Example_nrufiventris.rar Example dataset used to demonstrate the functionality of the BioDyn R package. The compressed file contains sample occurrence records (Occurrences.txt), checklist data (Checklists.txt), environmental raster layers (CHELSA climatic variables and elevation), and a shapefile of ecoregions (Ecoregion.shp and associated files) used to reproduce example analyses and workflows implemented in the package.
