There is growing interest among conservationists in biodiversity mapping based on stacked species distribution models (SSDMs), a method that combines multiple individual species distribution models to produce a community-level model. However, no user-friendly interface specifically designed to provide the basic tools needed to fit such models was available until now. 2. The ssdm package is a computer platform implemented in r providing a range of methodological approaches and parameterisation at each step in building the SSDM: e.g. pseudo-absence selection, variable contribution and model accuracy assessment, inter-model consensus forecasting, species assembly design, and calculation of weighted endemism. 3. The object-oriented design of the package is such that: users can modify existing methods, extend the framework by implementing new methods, and share them to be reproduced by others. 4. The package includes a graphical user interface to extend the use of SSDMs to a wide range of conservation scientists and practitioners. specialized bioinformatics community ecology conservation habitats modelling software MONDE NOUVELLE CALEDONIE 082 020 8 12 1795-1803 2017 2041-210X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071870 10.1111/2041-210x.12841 2041-210X [F B010071870] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071870 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/12/010071870.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-01-05 2023-07-11 fdi:010071870 fre
