The virtualspecies<\/strong> package is a freely available package for R designed to generate virtual species distributions, a procedure increasingly used in ecology to improve species distribution models. This package provides a framework for integrating the existing methodological approaches with the objective of generating virtual species distributions with increased ecological realism. The package includes (1) generating virtual species\u2019 suitability from a spatial set of environmental conditions, with two different approaches; (2) converting the environmental suitability into presence-absence with a probabilistic approach; (3) introducing dispersal limitations in the realised virtual species distributions and (4) sampling occurrences with different biases in the sampling procedure.<\/p>\n The package is now available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network.<\/p>\n You can install it directly from R \/ RStudio, searching for the package named “virtualspecies”, or download it manually from the CRAN:<\/p>\n http:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/ <\/p>\n There is a complete tutorial detailing all the possibilities of the virtualspecies R package.
