Calculates the Area of Occupancy of a species based on either known records or predicted distribution.
Usage
aoo(spData, cellSize = 2)
Value
A single value in km2 or a vector with lower confidence limit, consensus and upper confidence limit (probabilities 0.975, 0.5 and 0.025 respectively).
Arguments
spData
One of three options: 1) matrix of longitude and latitude (two columns) of each occurrence record; 2) matrix of easting and northing (two columns, e.g. UTM) of each occurrence record in meters; 3) RasterLayer object of predicted distribution (either 0/1 or probabilistic values).
cellSize
A numeric value in km determining the side of the grid square used to calculate AOO.
Details
AOO is calculated as the area of all known or predicted cells for the species. By default the resolution will be 2x2km as required by the IUCN.
