metapopulation

Class representing a landscape graph with species' patch occupancy data, as produced by <code>species.graph</code>, <code>convert.graph</code> and <code>import.shape</code>.

Tools to generate random landscape graphs, evaluate species
occurrence in dynamic landscapes, simulate future landscape occupation and
evaluate range expansion when new empty patches are available (e.g. as a
result of climate change). References: Mestre, F., Canovas, F., Pita, R.,
