title: 'gbif.range: Species Range Mapping from GBIF Using Ecoregion Constraints'
version: 1.9.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.gbif.range
abstract: A user-friendly, end-to-end workflow to generate ecologically informed species
  range maps from sparse observations using environmental clustering and convex hulls.
  Serves as a standalone framework or complementary approach to Species Distribution
  Models (SDMs). By constraining estimated ranges within authoritative or custom ecoregion
  boundaries, the approach prevents spurious range over-prediction common in geometric
  hull methods. The package automates data acquisition via 'GBIF' synonym-aware, tiled
  downloads; curates records using 13 configurable filters; and supports multi-scale
  analysis by integrating global or user-provided spatial layers. Also includes disk-based
  batch processing for large-scale studies and built-in tools for cross-validation
  and expert-derived evaluations.
