rangeMapper

A framework for the study of macroecological patterns of life-history traits.

rangeMapper builds upon three types of data:

1. Species distribution ranges
2. Life-history datasets
3. Environmental rasters

rangeMapper is build on three concepts:

1. The canvas which is a regular grid of squares or hexagons.
2. The subsets which are defined by combinations of life-history datasets and map data.
3. The maps representing one or several variables summarised on the canvas.

File format

rangeMapper’s project containers are sqlite files.
