phyloraster

phyloraster is an R package to calculate measures of endemism and evolutionary diversity using rasters of presence-absence as input, allowing to join the results derived from species distribution models (SDMs) with phylogenetic information.

Installation

The CRAN version of the package can be installed using:

install.packages("phyloraster")

The development version of phyloraster can be downloaded from GitHub using the following code:

devtools::install_github("gabferreira/phyloraster")

Example usage

Example usage and information about the package can be found at the package's webpage or in the vignette vignette("phyloraster-vignette")
