SpeciesDistributionToolkit

🗺️ SpeciesDistributionToolkit.jl is a collection of Julia packages forming a
toolkit meant to deal with (surprise!) species distribution data.

[!TIP]
All of the packages are installed automatically, so you can simply do
import Pkg; Pkd.add("SpeciesDistributionToolkit") and get started.

Specifically, the goal of these packages put together is to provide a consistent way to handle
occurrence data, put them on a map, and make it interact with environmental
information. The package also contains a full-featured library for species distribution models.

[!IMPORTANT]
If you use this package, please cite:

The up-to-date documentation for the most recent version can be found
here. It
contains tutorials showcasing the package in action, how-to guides to serve as a
quick reference, and links to the documentation for all methods in the component
packages.
