biomod2: Ensemble Platform for Species Distribution Modeling

Functions for species distribution modelling, to calibrate, evaluate, and project species-environment relationships across space and time using multiple modelling algorithms and ensemble forecasting. It accommodates diverse ecological data types (presence-only, presence-absence, counts, multi-class abundance, or relative/absolute abundance) within a unified modelling workflow which includes cross-validation schemes, pseudo-absence selection strategies, expanded model parametrization options, a dozen of algorithms, and tools for exploring and visualizing outputs.
