rangeMapper
A framework for the study of macroecological patterns of life-history traits.
rangeMapper
builds upon three types of data:
- Species distribution ranges
- Life-history datasets
- Environmental rasters
rangeMapper
is build on three concepts:
- The canvas which is a regular grid of squares or hexagons.
- The subsets which are defined by combinations of life-history datasets and map data.
- The maps representing one or several variables summarised on the canvas.
File format
rangeMapper
’s project containers are sqlite
files.
