virtualecologist provides facilities to simulate virtual ecosystems, from the underlying environment to species distribution and scientific surveys. Species can be simulated with a spatial point process using a resource layer as reference, or by simulating individual movements (central place or free ranging foraging). You can navigate the articles above detailing each step:
- Simulate a virtual environment
- Simulate a species with spatial point process
- Simulate a species from individual movement
- Simulate an observation survey
The package also includes various functions (%!in% and normalize())
